Thank You, Ms. Shell. I agree that the law is not a simple thing. I am not trying to 'prove' anything either here or in court. I am merely stating that financial consequences could have occured.(so what TLC is trying to explain to me really doesn't apply). I am saying that, legal issues aside, I still feel that there is a moral obligation that the 'more fortunate' have to the 'less fortunate'. If I told someone a 'joke' and they were unfortunate enough to have believed it, and then based some of their actions on that 'joke', I would perhaps then feel that I would be 'morally' guilty of 'contributory neglegence'. (sp) I am not saying that I would be found guilty in court, or even if there would be a court hearing. I do apologize to any one that has had to come down to my level of understanding to realize what I have meant in these posts. John
