I have been hesitant to weigh in because I did not participate in this 
group, so have no idea what you folks discussed. However, frivolous and 
vexatious clauses are one of my pet peeves, so I will offer some 
suggestions, they may be off the wall but possibly there could be 
something useful in there.

cheers Stephanie Perrin
