Well, personally I've never been sued, but I always find myself involved with lawyers for my job. For example, I spent this last summer facilitating a $22M contract breech bogey. That was basically 3 months of lawyers debating contract language 14 hours a day. That sucked. If there's one thing I've learned it's that law is the written word, and words are interpretation of concepts, and concepts are subjective. That means some people think the lady who sued is justified because the buyer has the right to be protected from any harm that may befall them despite misuse of the product. I, on the other hand, believe that the buyer assumes responsibility for the handling of hot beverages once taken into possession. As I mentioned, this is why ladders are so expensive. Some bozo sets the ladder on ice and starts climbing towards the roof, falls, and breaks a leg. He sues the ladder manufacturer for not warning him the ladder is not intended for ice. You and Ian seem to believe he is justified. Sam and I believe he's an idiot who will need to hope God does indeed protect fools. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:248862 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
