    Deleted Thread

    As you may have noticed, we just deleted a thread related to some concerns about a teacher. We understand and sympathize with the poster's desire to solicit feedback on an important issue, but given the potential legal ramifications and concerns over privacy we are not comfortable having issues like this discussed on this board, especially in an open forum.

    Thanks for understanding.

      Lawyers ruin all the fun. Just kidding.

      Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

        No need to be kidding. They do ruin all the fun. They also prevent all the lawsuits.

        But I repeat myself.

          They also file most lawsuits.

            Corporate lawyers are the worst. They go to absurd extremes that defy all logic. Just to make their job easier in the long run.

              If I thought they didn't read my posts I would agree with you. Since I think they do, I can't agree with you.

                Corporate lawyers draft documents to keep your ass out of court (or to make sure your ass wins in court). That in no way makes our job easier, but maybe you just have really, really bad attorneys.

                  I beg to disagree. Finance lawyers. An especially myopic subset.

                      I guess it's a good thing I went from finance to general corporate, then.

                          Environmental lawyers are even worse. A subset of subsets.

                            You have a bright future at OSHA!

                            Let's not pretend this is unique to my organization. It is some jackass corporate lawyer that decided that it would be a good idea to force me to push a button to agree not to sue my carmaker EVERY STINKING TIME I turn on the radio (with a nav system) in my car. And it was another corporate lawyer that put a cover on the blade of my chain saw that I have to remove that informs me that I shouldn't attempt to stop the moving blade with my hand. Really?

                              I am so sorry to hear that you have to push a button on your car radio and remove a cover on the blade of your chain saw. It must be very difficult.
