Mac, it is not your age as I think I am considerably younger than you and I don't see any point in ghosting - that really has to be the most non-productive pointless pathetic time wasting exercise humanity has dreamed up since line dancing.
With regard to the research, you are right. I am still in the office (21.02 Manchester time, now been in the office for 36 hours non-stop for a deal that is completing tomorrow morning - cue pity from all forum lurkers
) - a lot of the time we are waiting for comments to come in from other lawyers and so far, the topic of this afternoon's chat is 'circle the wagons' and how it relates to, well, enough said.
Save for a few choice and exceptionally creative (and probably anatomically impossible) comments, the finest legal minds money can buy cannot work this one out. There are now 8 of us in the office on this deal and none of us can work it out! do we tell the client this is costing him about $3000 per hour?
This is bugging me but as puke said, if it isnt illegal, who cares
