I kept thinking I should have brought it up and dismissed it with one line. But if I recall correctly, he was asserting the same right as before, and there was only the single equity claim; no one was asking for damages. Of course, in the fog of war, it's likely I missed something. I do know that the PR issue was ABA or CA. <br /><br />blah.The Grand Poobahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07226524231756836464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5559983208580788273.post-8916498179972137732009-08-01T07:25:01.069-07:002009-08-01T07:25:01.069-07:00I have been following your blog and I want to comm...I have been following your blog and I want to commend you. I, too, am a repeater and just took it again. Its been quite a few times already but I won't give up. I saw in the same row as you last time and I so wanted to say hello but the whole situation and sitting there was horrid (as you know all know!) You are an inspiration to all of us! We are all rooting for you and hopefully we can all be on that list in November. <br />That # 4 was INSANE! Come on! How many different subjects are they doing cross overs with now?!?!??! Wow! Does anyone know if call # 2 to essay # 4 had to be based upon CA law?!?!?
