Everything else, like in Judge Wopner's court, is irrelevant. It reminds me of an old computer scam where an operation in Texas had invoice forms printed up and rented mailing lists. They mailed out small bills to all the people on the mailing list. Many people paid the bills rather than complain or assumed that their spouse was responsible for the charge. The FBI closed it down eventually. Carl Wright | Lynn-Arthur Associates, Inc. Internet: wright@ais.org | 2350 Green Rd., #160 Voice: 1 313 995 5590 EST | Ann Arbor, MI 48105
