Nope. Hope it stays that way.
I know that you know. Just pointing out the relative uselessness of self-selected polls in general. I'm not sure why anyone would be surprised at any response, it might just be attracting responses from people who were sued. Others pass it by.Thank you for pointing that out and helping me avoid major embarrassment. I was planning to use the poll results as the basis for my doctoral dissertation.
(1) Seems to me that the only ones who win in most lawsuits, are the lawyers.
(2) Life is too short to spend weeks or months of it in court, if that is avoidable.
What a loser that guy was. Lucky you had not married him.Nope, I'm still a virgin as far as being a Plaintiff or Defendant in a lawsuit goes.
A few months after we broke up, ex-dh2b tried rattling his saber at me (threatened to take me to court) regarding a fictitious agreement to transfer ownership (to him) of an item titled in my name alone.
I calmly asked him to produce his proof of receipts of purchase and the alleged agreement in writing and then I would discuss it.
That problem went poof.
I hadn't previously read this book for my health.

I don't disagree with the above. I wouldn't suggest bringing an action unless it is truly necessary and there are no alternatives.W2R said:(1) Seems to me that the only ones who win in most lawsuits, are the lawyers.

......The store owner said he "thought we wouldnt mind, because he was paying and got a good price".
So, yeah, we hired a lawyer and sued. We didn't get a lot of money ($7K I think) - but enough to put up 3 more trees, albeit not as tall as I would have liked. They will never replace the 3 beautiful white pines that were there.
