Edie, I agree that hearing the NPF vs Ivan story is getting tedious, but I am the only one, who said (kiddingly) that we should all contribute money to Ivan. I think that would embarass him, and he is really just requesting that we pressure the NPF to give him restituition. I think he has decided to use a lawyer, which is the way to go. I believe in the legal system, if not perfect, it is better than a bunch of laymen playing lawyer. The details show that Ivan has a reason to want compensation, but how much and from whom it is due is a task for the professionals. Ken B
