[stuff deleted] > What laws and implications are there... In the case of universities, many specify in their student handbooks that the owners of a room are responsible for _all_ actions/guests/... The same is specified in many apartment leases. Pat -- =============================================================================== = = = This .sig space for rent. = = =
