Post #47,386 by Ashton 7/29/02 4:22:54 PM Reply	This is M$-grade crap. Has anyone asked a decent atty. about the legality of such a plot? It seems ripe for a class-action and above all: Local and National PUBLICITY - surely worth a Marianas Trench full of lawyers. No? I mean it is patently a form of outright extortion, exploiting black/white Rulez regarding one's unemployment option VS signing UNDER DURESS (the legal term?). Those ~200.. you mention - would seem to be more than enough to query and justify such a suit. And the evidence is there - surely each one got a copy of the forced 'contract'. Guess I can't imagine intelligent folk just lying down and taking this without any effort to publicize the Corp crime (?) Especially! now in the Enron + spotlight. No brainer. But what do I know..

Unethical as all Hell? Yup. Illegal? Nope. There are 10 types of people. Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
