Pretty nasty thing to do to some individual or small businessman who (as you later pointed out) may have NO idea of the legal requirements. How about trying to talk to the person running the thing, first? It's only common courtesy. Of course if you *have* tried this route, I apologise for jumping to conclusions. But you didn't give any indication you have. For other people: before using the power of the state, how about trying old-fashioned *communication* first... in this and other cases? You're all communications experts (or at least talented amateurs) after all... `-_-' Peter da Silva. +1 713 274 5180. . 'U` Also or .
