>>Firing threats and Parthian shots and then crying "I want to end it" is not the way real lawyers behave ...>JR
Ok, this is a tangent but I gotta ask - a couple of times you've used the expression "Parthian shot" where I was expecting to see "parting shot" and I am flummoxed. My only knowledge of Parthian is in reference to a Persian empire that lasted about 250 on either side of BC/AD. I know of no historic context for the expression "Parthian shot" but since I collect historical trivia I would be happy to trade for the even more obscure (though beloved of Musicologists) expression "a regular Buxtehude's daughter".

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
