By the way, I really enjoyed your splinterview. Being that you are an attorney, I was wondering if you could advise me if there is any legal recourse I can take against players who pick on my tunacy (I get songs stuck in my head).

Haha! You know, I tell people you can always sue anyone for anything ... but good luck getting a judgment (I prefer negotiation over litigation). Thanks for reading my spliterview. :-) - jedijawa, 2007-05-07: 11:28:00
