   You need to get up to speed Richard.   
   I have a ream of legalese laying right here on my desk that I'm *looking   
   over* for an associate right now and even though I have a fair bit of   
   experience in such matters tomorrow I'm overnighting it to my mouthpiece in   
   FL cause I don't know what the hell it says.   
      
   You see, legal jargon IS speaking in tongues.   
      
   BTW: If someone is not clear on what *harm* is they have no business   
   claiming its been done to them.   
    BLAMM! Then assigns the frivilous court clown with a   
   hefty fine for desecrating the legal forum.   
   **This sort of silliness has been clogging the courts for decades.
