[SEL] NHMA - gonna alienate a lot of the snivelers - SO WHAT

[Jeff Allen]

Rob,

I've never sued, but have been, and you are correct. Hot coffee and 
McDonalds comes to mind. I think that really started it in this country. 
Can't get on my soapbox on this right now though. Debate is coming up and I 
want to watch your buddy, (flame suits on), debate himself, and then listen 
to Bush's reply. :-))

Regards,
