Subject: A boy named "sue"
I have been reading an awful lot of postings lately in which
lawsuits are threatened, counter-suits offered up in reply,
and former lawsuits between USCF officials and/or posters
to this forum are noted. I am curious: what generally is
the result of such lawsuits?

Are most of these thrown out? Is there a heavy fine for
the filing of "frivolous" lawsuits? Or do some of these end
up going the distance, with the winner coming away with
millions? How many such lawsuits are deemed frivolous
by the courts?

I suggest a thorough study of Game Theory.
