I've pointed this out before, to other (former) TECHWR-L members. You would be
wise to keep discussions of your legal problems OFF public forums like
TECHWR-L. If I was the subcontractor suing you, I would be very angry that you
were discussing the details of our case in a public forum.
I say this not as a slap to Sharon, but a reminer to the group. Be careful what
you post. Its easy for people to derive meanings from posts. Meanings that were
never intended.
