I'm wondering if there are any PUC commision members with any real understanding ? GTE has (or at least had) a "cash buyout" that reps were capable of giving (at the time, it was up to $500, with $1000 on supervisor approval) ... so obviously the hourly "fine/rate" even for claims where the utility was "right" was high enough to justify such. :) D -- +---------------------+-----------------------------------------+ | [email protected] | "Conan!
