I think that they must teach that the first day of law school. I have
been involved in several such cases in my days as a building
inspector. In fact, in one instance I noted that the heating system
was severely rusted in the firebox and should be replaced immediately.
The next winter the furnace failed, and the owner sued me because I
didn't catch that in my report. Now here you have a document that was
given to lawyers, real estate agents, and principal parties on both
sides of the transaction, where it clearly states in no uncertain
terms that the furnace should be replaced, yet they were permitted to
sue me for the exact opposite reason. Of course, the plaintiff was a
lawyer himself, so he wouldn't be forced to spend thousands in a
baseless action, but I would.
This whole thing smells of personal vendetta. I wonder what the
potential for income would be for computer articles that are a decade-
plus old; my guess would be zero. I think that I'll steer clear of
this whole train wreck.
