(i hope i wrote the details correctly - i don't have the article). if you want to know more details, i suggest you look this court rulling up. its a new precedence in this area, btw, and represents a change in the interpretation of the 'freedom of occupation' law in israel, relative to the norm that existed in the past. -- guy "For world domination - press 1, or dial 0, and please hold, for the creator." -- nob o. dy ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
