Well, that all depends on (a) how *badly* they didn't want the suit filed, (b) how badly they might have been worried about messing with it once started, and (c) how much autonomy they gave the directors of USL.

Of course, you mileage will vary. -- Peter da Silva. <peter@sugar.neosoft.com>. `-_-' Har du kramat din varg idag? 'U` My Apple-II has more RAM than my Mac!
