    A scummy lawyer sueing scummy email company, nothing to see here.

    Please detail exactly how you think the lawyer's actions are scummy. Or are you saying that all lawyers are scummy, just by virtue of being lawyers? In that case, I hope for your sake that you're never sued or accused of a crime, because it might be hard to maintain your self-righteousness when you're relying on those scum to keep you from going bankrupt or to prison.
