If you have a case, I strongly encourage you to pursue it. But most people who talk about suing AC simply do not have a winnable case.

I felt that simply liking this post wasn't a strong enough endorsement. dceenb , you sound more rational than most people who talk about (well, usually rant about) suing AC, and perhaps we do have an IDB situation, but when people talk about IDB, it almost always turns out not to have been once we actually get the details.
