Negotiate, yes, but on how they will correct their error. Don't negotiate "or
else" and "unless" statements with threats of law suit. If you do it right,
their
fears will be worse that your threats.

Hi Larry,

I'm obviously not a lawyer, sounds like you might be.  I will yield to your
more informed comments above with only the comment that I'm flabbergasted at
your suggestion that its against the law to point out your legal options to
someone thats just ripped you off.    I wasn't suggesting "make good or I will
rape your grandmother then piss on your granddad's dog"  which I can clearly
see to be illegal.  So lets say I'm putting groceries in my Vanagon and I
leave the hatch lid up while returning the cart and I turn to find someone
grabbing my Cheetoes and Jimmy Dean saugage.  I shout " Stop! Or I'll call the
Police."  What class felony have I just committed?

I think I'll add this to my list of reasons to move to France someday ;^)

Regardfully,

Carl Turner
