Yeah, I'm happy you pointed out the problems with the idea "convert." If you read any of my posts, you'd probably see that I was using this word exactly in the terrible way you suspected, and so I'm glad you could step around that trap.

And yeah, I mentioned to someone else the "common law" idea, but gave it some harsh remarks, comparing it to a mere "wish" or a plea. Yet, it is indeed a noble plea. To think that some people -deliberately- harm others or cause them loss, makes them sick indeed.

I figure we'll get along just fine then, so no worries. I wish no harm or loss upon you. =p
