For the record, the participants in this thread prior to the message
you quote above were Chris Bates, Andreas Johannson, myself,
Emily Zilch, Danny Wier, Michael Poxon, Mark P. Line, Steve Cooney,
Thomas R. Weir, and David Peterson. I can only think that your name
was introduced in error.

"The exception proves the rule." Dimbulbs think: "Your counterexample proves
my theory." Latin students think "'Probat' means 'tests': the exception puts
the rule to the proof." But legal historians know it means "Evidence for an
exception is evidence of the existence of a rule in cases not excepted from."
