Probably, especially in the USA, where AIUI you can be sued pretty much by anyone for any reason. Would such a suit stand a chance? Depends on the jurisdiction, of course, but in a sane jurisdiction I can't see how. Law is not my field, though. I'm confident enough to continue my own pool membership, FWTMBW. > Has anyone investigated this? Well, I think at least some of the poolkeepers are in the USA, so they'd be stupid not to have at least investigated it a little. But I have no other reason to think so. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML [email protected] / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B _______________________________________________ timekeepers mailing list [email protected] https://fortytwo.ch/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/timekeepers
