While I appreciate your input, I think there is a big flaw in your reasoning when you suggest that the J dollars are "TBD". Think of it from the perspective of the Court/JW. If the dollars are TBD, is there a settlement? IMO, NO, as the settlement would have been empty and open to further litigation (i.e., they couldn't close the case).

JMHO, but keep it coming - my sanity remains questionable (to me, and that's pretty bad! LOL).
