4000 forms, and this is the first time it was questioned. Those are the same 4000 that signed adjustable mortgages without reading the fine print. I had been going to a beauty college for haircuts. Recently they had a new form where I waived all rights to ANYTHING that could happen. I said I was happy to agree to a bad haircut in the sake of helping poor students, but if I was electrocuted in their chair due to faulty wiring, that was a little too much to waive. Sorry, the manager said. No signature, no haircut. So - no haircut. I went elsewhere. I called the owner to say why I wouldn't be coming back. She said I was the first to question the form (surprise!), but I wouldn't need to sign it for a haircut. Only for other procedures such as hair frying or whatever they do to women's hair these days. But I still haven't been back. I guess I'm not very forgiving. I still won't ever go back to TurboTax, either.

Does anyone else cringe when reading things like, "one metropolis that will remain nameless" and "I googled the sneakwrap language in their genetic center's form to make sure it wouldn't be too easy to figure out who they were?" Here's someone uncovering a problem - that's good! - and doing something about it - that's good too! - but selfishly covering up the perps so only he will know. That's bad. Arrogant selfishness is bad per se, and shielding perps is one reason the country is over-run with perps today. Please give us ALL the relevant facts, WHO included. You'd be surprised at how good it feels to practice courage. Reybo
