But that's kind of dull, so I admit to a vicarious thrill watching you vent, even if you ended up regretting it!

To be clear, I didn't think that you subscribed to that particular belief. You didn't say that you did, and I didn't say that you did. You said that "the lawyers . . . most likely believed" that the ABA had vetted their subscribers. It was apparent to me (from that comment and other discussions we've had) that you didn't believe that yourself. I was using "she" in the generic "he or she" sense (I do that about half the time when describing lawyers, rather than using the antigrammatical "they" or the boring "he or she"). If it had even occurred to me that you might put yourself in the group of lawyers who believed that the ABA's acceptance of advertising money was an imprimatur, I would have worded my comment better. Still a fan, Mark p.s. This is not the first time my efforts at nonsexist usage have bitten me in the butt. Carolyn,
