Well then you are supporting that companies can fire people on any whim, without regards to the employee. While that may be legal, many would consider that less than admirable. If you were my employee, then I could fire you because some third person said that you were one arrested for speeding. Even if you were found not guilty does not change the legality of firing. However, I would consider that a miscarriage of justice, and I think that many others would also. -- -Greg Hennessy, University of Virginia USPS Mail: Astronomy Department, Charlottesville, VA 22903-2475 USA Internet: gsh7w@virginia.edu UUCP: ...!uunet!virginia!gsh7w
