According to Google, you have a degree from a fourth-rate law school
(Brooklyn^H^H^H^HLoyola Academy of Law or something - doesn't seem
to appear among the top fifty US law schools, per US News rankings)
and hold a position as ``counsel'' (isn't that a shorthand for failed
lawyers who didn't make partner?) at a third-rate firm. Apparently,
law is not the first career at which you failed, which would explain
why you imagine that a law degree is a license to spout nonsense
about e-tickets.

I do know that no so long ago you claimed that (quote) ``an e-ticket
is an oral promise.'' Apparently, all these annual joints to Vegas
still haven't taught you that e-tickets come in forms other than oral
promises by airline representatives. Tsk, tsk.

I don't need a law degree to steer you - ever gently and kindly -
towards realizing that your claims about e-tickets (``an e-ticket
is an oral promise'' and ``an e-ticket is not a written contract'')
are pure nonsense. But if you don't believe me, why don't you stomp
your little feet at IATA and tell *them* what you think about legality
of e-tickets.
