I know of a computer company whose MD regularly decides to sue his clients, and sometimes even his (ex-)employees. Although this behaviour has foiled what would have been a very profitable merger, the board of directors (and the holder of the controlling interest) have not made any move to get rid of him. I write of him because, once he has decided to instigate legal proceedings, he heads all subsequent correspondence with the disclaimer, "WITHOUT PREJUDICE". I am told that this disallows any of the documents from being used in court. -- Joe Chacko <[log in to unmask]> %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
