Right up there with a grade school class voting on the sex of a
hamster, then being surprised by little boy hampsters having
babies. (Hey, it ain't Shakespeare, but it has a certain
democratic flavor to it.)
I've seen conflicting reports on who the injunction affects.
Is this a bit of FUD on the part of the attorney, or perhaps
a misquote? I was also under the impression you had to be named
in an injunction to be bound by it.
