Nice thing about Oregon is that former employers are legally prohibited from saying anything bad about current or former employees. Employers that do end up losing huge sums of money to former employees taking them to court over it. They can choose to say something nice, or nothing at all. In practice, most companies here will not discuss former employees, period, for fear of getting sued big-time for lost wages. > I've had that happen to me.

So the forum's going away? That's about the only way things could get unequivocally better. -- Paul Johnson baloo@xxxxxxxxx
