It's incredible how some folks always seem to get involved with courtroom
scenarios! Please, let's not have that discussion on his account, okay?
Really guys, it's not that juicy. The man has a little vertical antenna and
a neighbor with a problem, that's all. He asked for some advice, and I
believe he received some useful information, based mostly on common
experiences of this wise old group. Let's not try to frighten the pajamas
off him!
No one is ruling in anyone's favor here. He was looking for support and
advice for his immediate situation, not horror stories. They're just not
that helpful.
