That thread

http://www.suijuris.net/forum/taxati...-attorney.html

is hereby declared a success. I got lots of useful advice despite the best efforts of "other sympathies".

Every point of silence are defaults which I take as proven until shown otherwise- so there must have been a few things generally right, for such a one as I, seeking remedy.

And the sympathies of the lawyer-class shone bright- but we already knew that.

SHOONRA told me to "k.i.s.s."- which is probably the best point made. He/She motivated me to remember the correct 1st answer to accusations of any sort- a demurrer.

ECCLESIASTES showed me the importance of 'cost' vs 'value'.

MERTENSV16 fine-tuned my thinking on capital gains and basis calculations, and pointed out that even the IRC recognizes losses and damage.

KARENM reminded me to pay attention to the flow of the argument- dont let others sidetrack you with any 'twists' and 'spin'.

and as for the LAWDOG, well ...he showed the color of his fur real good.

Some topics, such as the bogus "need good advice from a professional accredited attorney" are more amusing than others for the simple reason that they porofess to request advice, but cast the request in a light that will force any answers to lead to the author's predetermined conclusions.

I'm glad you liked it. Isn't it fun when attorneys get the BAR treatment?
