Yes, sorry.. as much as English is supposedly my native language, I am not good at using it. I do not expect people to have to get lawyers, but the level of questions and doubt shown in the questions and comments could not be answered on a list of non-lawyers (or even on a list of lawyers). These sort of questions usually end up as this one, everyone frustrated because they can't have a definitive answer and no one agrees on what is the best course.. Sorry for adding to the confusion. I will try to make it better by dropping out as I am not helping. -- Stephen J Smoogen. Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp.
