There is either a violation (though with some perception and point of view) or there is no legal violation (with some other perception and point of view) but that can be *no* **potential violation**. If you prefer could take a look at what makes you think there *is* potential! This related to electronics and things that are used for electrons! So effect of the word *potential* also needs to be taken into account (albeit in some point of view) and taking that it into account... one could easily argue that what you are probably calling is a barrier, so enough potential will cross over the barrier and make the electrons flow as they need to appropriately... So saying there is potential violation is like saying I have a potential to go to court of law against you... which could even be interpreted as an implied threat (which many times can be potentially called *blackmail*, if used by the beneficiary parties) Hope this does not potentially create and spread मोरे misunderstanding... this is written in a (cape of good) hope to clarify misgivings about use of, and pertaining to, legal words... कायद्याचं बोला! -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
