Today I saw a byline in the Huntington Post dealing with the Olympics pool issue. It says...
"Olympic officials close, then reopen diving pool that "smells like a fart"...."But, Um, the water is still green"

My point is, "Less chaff is more wheat" --memtas. This information is much like the Olympic pool problem, although the pool is open, it smells much like a fart and the entire pool is still green.
Added Note and reminder:
Somewhere in the Merchant of Venice, one of Shakespeare's characters is made to say:
"his reasons are as two grains of wheat hid in two bushels of chaff, you may seek all day ere you find them and when you have them they are not worth the search".
With the caseload we carry, and for other reasons more important to the litigant, we need nothing in the record or the briefs but the wheat, the chaff should be let go. The overburden imposed by excesses in either is not the worst vice. The litigant's right may be so embedded or hidden in the chaff that no amount of argument or reading may reveal it to the Court. When that is the case, the litigant is disappointed and very justly loses confidence in our system of administering justice. It becomes rather a system for handing out injustice, not because of any fault in the system, but on account of lack of skill and industry on the part of those who administer it. Less chaff in the wheat will be a great boon to litigants.
Cheers! Take care PeeTwo. Btw, I didn't know flatulence was this rosy and green too. My Gosh!
