spare suits...

Gentlepersons-
                      A member on another list recalled a big-bucks lawsuit 
in the marine sal-
vage trade about ten years ago...Seems a deck winch (itself decades old) was 
purchased
from a salvage yard and improperly installed. Years later it failed, causing 
a death. The
manufacturer was successfully sued for negligence (!). Precedent set, 
everything be-
came fair game.
Tony in NJ where, if I remember correctly, the ratio of lawyers to civilians 
is 1:35...OTOH
there's a shortage of nurses...
