I swore, when I left the Litigator Life behind, that I would never even read a discovery dispute ruling (and even more so, write or defend against a motion to compel discovery responses) if it were humanly possible to keep from doing so.
I suppose there's a kind of artistic or at least poetic justice in MechEngr including a discovery dispute ruling in a post; that's what an SLF/attorney can expect from intruding on an aviator and engineering web community.
(Not to mention a federal district court complaint in a 144-page pdf. )
