Haha ! Actually its more like this : So, you wanna move into our neighbor hood? Ok. you have to pay into this manditory Fund like we all do , called the "If a Rock gets thrown at your Window Insurance Fund". So that in case it ever happens to you or any of us, we are covered , and we wont have to bother with the Pity details of who did it, and just collect on it. Only thing is, if no one ever has a rock come sailing through the window.....then all this money gets pocketed by by the Insurance Company, and is never accounted for. Other Successful plans like the : "If you are hit by Falling Space Shuttle Debris" have been proven to deter this sort of thing from happening....and make you feel more safe in your neighborhood.

Although I have never heard the term"they can't pin down what caused it, how can they sue you for being the possible cause of the fire". That just doesn't ring true to me, but I guess if you don't have a big Insurance behind you, you could be guilty, until proven innocent.;-) Stranger things are happening these days with Lawsuits, so nothing surprises me anymore. That's almost like getting a rock thrown through your window, you don't exactly which neighbour did it, so you sue the whole block. -Ed- Tel-Tek Electronics Ontario-Canada teltek3@xxxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: "J Silverman" <greentron@xxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, May 24, 2004 1:09 PM Subject: [TechAssist] Re: RCA ASC Update: > It is liability insurance that they want you to have.
