Something that is more easily solved by settling out of court, than going through the courts. (If negotiations break down, companies are more likely to go through arbitration, than the courts, because the latter is faster, and usually cheaper for both sides.) xan jonathon -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGxW9K2o2GPyX/pG0RAlU6AJ9SWeDZWDGms6Y+95ruNCoQfb8+GgCgh8Go GuQkVW2VJXlKNi99aiS8v0U= =OTY/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
