schestowitz[TR2]"Max Drei: your contribution here is, characteristically, the most intellectually honest articulation of the pro-adaptation case. You have identified what seems to be the strongest argument (the public interest in clarity) and immediately acknowledged its limitation: it is the role of the courts, not the EPO, to determine the public interest having regard to the full real-world context reaching"Feb 26 18:59

schestowitz[TR2]"That’s my only debt with IBMFeb 26 20:42
schestowitz[TR2]It’s a rounding issue .Feb 26 20:42
schestowitz[TR2]I don’t think they’d be that stupid to sue for $121 or the equivalent of Krabanaughs breakfast billFeb 26 20:42

schestowitz[TR2]@j8 "And they sent another letter wanting $121 for health insurance that they paid for December but my last day was 12/4" - I had the same exact situation. They make you pay for the full month, even if the final day is before the 2nd paycheck. Good news is that you can ignore this. I can't speak to other IBM debts, but I went through this specific situation myself and the person I called about it literally said that I could just doFeb 26 20:42
schestowitz[TR2] nothing and they will not pursue it at all (and it won't hurt your credit score).Feb 26 20:42
schestowitz[TR2]In general, it definitely seems like IBM has a very tight process in place to claw back every possible dollar they can. A friend of mine who left was told he was overpaid in the thousands. He ended up negotiating with them and knocking it down to about 40% of what IBM asked for.Feb 26 20:42
