You are far too intense. Your statement was totally without merit, however, if I
has wished to seriously suggested that you were engaged in a vice I would have
phrased my statement somewhat differently. Perhaps it is a generational
difference, but if someone of my age suggested that I "must be high" I would
understand him/her as thinking my comments were totally off base, not that I was
under the influence.

Not trying, made.

"If", how do you know that it hasn't, and if it hasn't, when businesses have
hired some high priced legal talent to get them out of trouble, then someone
hitting on all cylinders would conclude that there must be a very good reason
for it. And that it wouldn't be that magnetic media wasn't legally considered
"permanent."

No, the safe assumption is that, if it hasn't been tried, there is a very good
reason why, and it also is a safe assumption that if it had any chance of being
used, that it was. However, since you seem to like debating legal matters so
much, may I suggest that you take a trip to the local law library (assuming
there is one in your area) and research the matter. That's what lawyers do.
