So in other words, you made up something about the law, hoping no one would
challenge you and when you were challenged, you made it their problem to
prove you wrong.
Until you can prove it, I consider it at best unsubstantiated and at worse
an outright lie.
Interesting. I never noticed that you post from the same news server as the
person with many names that is stalking me all over Usenet. May I ask what
you post from?
