Hope if it ever happens it works out just that way for you too!

That's good!  No record of ever saying something that can ever be used against
you!

UH .... you realize of course, that if you are ever unlucky enough to be
confronted by a goblin with a knife, and legally stop him, that this statement
(via DejaNews etc) *could* come back to haunt you?  I have no problem with your
willingness to defend yourself and family, or even your right to say what you
did .... Just commenting on your choice of words.  Remember folks, it's best not
to give those slimeball lawyers ANYTHING to work with!  Best of luck to you!
(hope you never need it though!)
