HI Jackie,
I think you've put the lie detector discussion in it's complete and
correct context. I agree about the experts probably not having time to
spend on computer discussion groups. OTOH, if they have written books
they can use the opportunity to hype them. :)
I think it's good that courts are constantly challenged to provide a fair
venue for everyone, no matter what their disability may be.
Bill
