Is this some form of Authorization by Principal's Conduct [Apparent Authority], (also legally referred to as: 'Agency of Estoppel') in the GNU land by means of "gateway" magic word, Hyman? "Hyman Rosen gateway" "Hyman Rosen gateway" "Hyman Rosen gateway" Are you now my agent in the GNU land, Hyman? ROFL. http://www.nanosft.com/igc/AnatomyofAnAgencyRelationship.html ----- Authorization by Principal's Conduct [Apparent Authority], (also legally referred to as: 'Agency of Estoppel') - An agent has apparent authority when the principal, by his words or conduct, reasonably leads a third party to believe that such a person has the authority to bind the principal. Any conduct, including words, that gives the agent reason to believe the principal consents to his acting as agent is sufficient to create an agency. If a person knowingly and without objection permits another to act as his agent, the law will find in this conduct an expression of authorization to the agent, and the principal will not be permitted to deny that the agent was in fact authorized. In other words, the principal is "estopped" from denying the agency, thus protecting the third party who dealt with the agent in good faith. ----- regards, alexander. -- http://gng.z505.com/index.htm (GNG is a derecursive recursive derecursion which pwns GNU since it can be infinitely looped as GNGNGNGNG...NGNGNG... and can be said backwards too, whereas GNU cannot.) _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
