[Flame on]
	'Fraid I gotta agree with Mr. Frye on this.  The legal system we
	have in this country these days forces us all to be nasty like this,
	when just looking at someone crosseyed can be grounds for a lawsuit.
	There's just no knowing WHAT you can do anymore without getting
	reamed by some predatory lawyer.
[Flame off]

	That doesn't sound like a flame you say?  But it is ... a flame at
	our legal system run amok ... not at Mr. Frye, who just wants a way
	to give help when needed without losing his ass at it.
