The doubts have been cast by the following exerts from a book called
Disorder in the American Courts and are things people actually said in
court.
Taken down by court reporters who had the torment of staying calm
while the exchanges were taking place.

They will come and sue you.
P.S. Do not cross-post to sci.research.postdoc. It is a totally dead
newsgroup. Only "undead" creatures such as spammers are roaming there. |
