Stuart, from this comment, it is clear that you have never battled an
insurance company in court.  May you never.  If you ever do (evolution
forbid), you will conclude that buying insurance is mostly equivalent to
donating money to the very rich.  In practice, they will pay you small
fraction of what they think they will be forced to pay by a court, assuming
a long and exhausting legal battle.  Exhausting to you that is; for them it
is just another day at the office.

Harvey, glad to hear you are above water.  I heard there was an aligator
swimming down the street where you went to high school.
