The house in question is DW's deceased grandmother's house, which has been sitting, for sale, for some time. The family next door, or their kids, are buying it. It is being sold as is, as a distressed property, for a price reflecting that. After the house has sat a long time, BIL got two...

We've talked about that. That nothing was done or said at the time of the accident. From what I understand it was just one of those little things no one thought much about at the time.

Anyone? Our friend is visiting and I bragged y'all up to her, told her she would have replies by tonight, which is now. :D

I am not an attorney so I am reluctant to give you advice. I feel it is better that you find it for yourself, and it is readily available using Internet search engines. I have dealt with exactly the same problems with my Dad and my Mother, both deceased, a deceased neighbor, my wife's...

I would like to know how to change my username. Thanks

Prezactly the danger of the Internet, that every spoken word is permanently preserved. In real life, unless someone records it, that is bot the case, and even then, when it is recorded, that is sometimes still not the case. ;) Things change and sometimes those changes mandate retraction...

How do I go about changing my username? JLB

Wow! Talk about timely; I just went to another forum and the administrator said he is changing the settings to limit the edit function to one hour. That really pushes the question To Post or Not To Post? As ugly as the Internet can be, if there is any doubt, don't. ;)

I see no one answered this; anyone care to take a shot at it?

Two months ago a friend of mine injured her knee when she was working for a vendor at a car race. It happened in the vendor's sales trailer when the stepstool (the only seating provided) she was sitting on collapsed. The person in charge witnessed it but nothing was done at the time . . . no...

Same facts here, different conclusion. Small agencies facing cutbacks because of budget shortages. The stimulus money to fight Internet crime saved their jobs, and created some.

Yup, some agencies are utilizing the Internet to expand their jurisdictions beyond physical ones, and the funding is there. http://www.slfp.com/News072709.htm http://origins.recovery.gov/transparency/pages/RecipientProjectSummary508.aspx?AwardIdSur=22694&AwardType=Grants

So, if someone posted something on an internet forum, then asked the forum owner to delete them, and he refused . . . because he claims ownership of the content on the site . . . what's up? Who has control over what they post . . . them or the site owner?

Speaking of NY, the AG there is certainly not afraid of taking on the Internet, and even making ISP's accountable for what they provide: http://www.betanews.com/article/New-York-Attorney-Generals-child-porn-crusade-expands/1215792617

You are no doubt speaking of your own experience/agency. Some agencies, however, relish the opportunity of pursuing cyber perps committing cyber crimes. It must be paying off in dollars and sense. I know of a financially-strapped county that's cutting back as much of their budget as...

I have been reluctant to say more, cuz it may be more about me than the OP, but we appear to have almost identical situations, so I know from whence I speak. ;) I (we'all) can tell from the OP's tone that he was not happy where he was, and that it sounds like that dissatisfaction was...

Thanks to the Internet, jurisdiction is no longer geographic. The Missouri mom was tried in LA, cuz that's where the server was. That case opened the door for more. http://www.efluxmedia.com/news_Seven_New_Cases_of_Cyberbullying_Are_Prosecuted_31959.html Expense does not seem to be a...

Here is an example of a cyber-harassment statute that does not require the threat of immediate harm. In fact, that is the principle point of this one. http://www.google-bombs.com/?p=115
