Does this mean that *we* don't know who the party is, or that the party's identity is unknown to everybody? I'm not exactly sure how things would work if the latter. ______c_________________________________________________________________ Mike M Nally * Tiv^H^H^H IBM * Austin TX * For the time being, m5@tivoli.com * m101@io.com * <URL:http://www.io.com/~m101> * three heads and eight arms.
I suspect they are trying to get a judgement against "John Doe", in the hopes of tracking him down later. Actually, if I had a sizeable judgement against such a John Doe, I could probably find a private detective who would find the dude for a contingent fee. Wow, a whole new class of factoring (commerce definition) opens up. Get me a lawyer....
