- I think 'boast' is a strong work. I've had some experience in this area,
- and reason to do some research. Are you telling me that my statements or
- analysis are incorrect? Please explain exactly what your problem is.
-
- BTW, when we are talking about marriage contracts, child support and divorce
- law, they vary state to state. Citations might be useful in specific cases,
- when one knows what state one is discussing. Generally, our discussions
- haven't been case-specific.
-
- Or are you just badgering?

-
- Ah.
-
- So, we should just sit back with 'so often it's nearly a cliche' and figure
- there *is* a real problem that needs solving, eh?
-
- Let me borrow a phrase: "Sorry, Charlie". It'll get more interest and more
- *useful* discussion (note the qualifier) if it can be demonstrated to really
- exist on a level requiring social response.
-

-
- Horseshit, Will.
-
- You don't know squat when it comes to what makes another person take action
- or not take action.
-
- By reading this far we can conclude that you _are_ merely badgering and there
- is no substance worth addressing in your post. And in 4 newsgroups, too.
- You ought to be ashamed.

-
- Yeah. It's been pretty damned cold here, too.
