I first saw it in California about 2 years ago, and noticed an awful lot of super-fast super-fine print on the screen. So, the next time I watched it, I put on my super-fast super-fine reading cap and watched it carefully. It states that both the suee (little pun there, sorry) and the suor are compensated for appearing on the program with a total lump sum. That lump sum is used to pay any damages awarded to the suee, and then the difference (if anything is left) is split down the middle and given to the suee and suor for their troubles. Can anyone verify if this is still the case? I haven't seen it for at least a year and a half. -- The MAD Programmer -- 919-228-3313 (Cornet 291) alias: Curtis Jackson ...![ ihnp4 ulysses cbosgd mgnetp ]!burl!rcj ...![ ihnp4 cbosgd akgua masscomp ]!clyde!rcj
