Heheh,
The Police took care of it.
My lawsuit was from the point of me against the Company.
Unfortunately, The Company in question happened to be a major newspaper
in the State...the potential for damage (to me) was too great - so I
simply walked away.
Trust me, I take crap from no one..heheh. But there are some battles
that I choose not to fight. Karma did come back and get them, however.
That's another story.
