Secondly, that thread was what led to a brief friendship between me and
stoid. I have never met a Durper in person but she is one of two with whom I have had a phone conversation. I was recently divorced at the time so we talked about being back in the dating world in the digital age.
She also asked me for financial advice about her situation which led to the famous law suits. I tried to explain to her about how the house asset should be divided. I had literally gone through the same thing in my divorce a few months earlier and we are both in California. The other prong of her lawsuit was how to divide a business. A good friend of mine who owned a small consulting business was going through a divorce at the time and I put them in touch. He explained to her how it was done. There is a very standard way to do both but she didn't think that that applied to her for whatever reason hence the lawsuits.
Notice the date of that thread; late 2006. By the time that her appeal was done, the housing market had cratered and her particular internet business was worthless. Had she just been reasonable, she would have had a nice bankroll.
