OT: George, about 20 years ago I had a consulting engineering practice. I was sued for a significant sum of money - treble damages were sought. The case had no merit. The Plaintiff went through 3 sets of lawyers, the last at least refusing to work on contingency. After almost 2 years, the judge threw out the case. After that experience, I favor a system where the loser pays the "winner's" legal fees. If he can't afford to then his lawyer pays. Will such a system ever come about? Who are most of our legislators? IMO while many lawyers do useful work, at least as many are strictly a drain on the productive people of our economy. My only satisfaction was that I never paid my lawyer the last 25% of his bill. (G) Take care. Winkman
