... a "suspect class", which in legal terms means that excluding them would not constitute the type of discrimination which could be used as the basis for a successful lawsuit. Doesn't mean Rene couldn't be sued anyway, though he would probably win (defending against such a suit, even if meritless, can be a time consuming costly pain in the ass anyway).

I think it unfortunate that Rene would consider renting ICG a table and have already posted below that I will join with Gene in paying any lost table fees if he refuses to do so and loses table fees as a result.

There is no better way to fight this than an uncompromising, united STAND against slabbing. And by uncompromising, I mean don't even let them in the door. Trying to "reason" this away will be like trying to "reason" with a two year old throwing a temper tantrum. Sometimes you just have to spank the little snot. ----- jim o\-S
