    - what's so difficult about producing correct reports? - Milton's Red Stapler
      - That's the whole idea here. sm - an editor
        and when it goes to court the doctor will - blame the MT nm
        He's free to try to say whatever he wants. sm - an editor
        To clarify, I didn't answer the OP here. I answered on (sm) - an editor
