So the Aronsons illegally listened into their neighbors phone conversations, hear them say some jokes that they took offense too, and sued them for 10.5M USD? Sounds like the Aronsons are the ones that are doing something wrong to me.... Mike B Michael P.

[...] The difference is that the Aronsons actually *wiretapped* (and recorded) the phone calls while the Amish teen just used the 'tap' as a way to make "free" (to him) long distance calls... ------------------------------------------------------------------- Gregory Hicks | Principal Systems Engineer Cadence Design Systems 555 River Oaks Pkwy M/S 6B1 San Jose, CA 95134 I am perfectly capable of learning from my mistakes.
