Dearest Friskers,
It disturbs me that you seem to understand so much about the legal/court system in this area. I admire your posts and almost always enjoy them. Please tell me you aren't some form of criminal that led you to this exceptional knowledge. It would break my heart to learn that you are a lawyer.
