Use It Or Lose It - Privilege
"Privilege" in the context of the law refers to the special relationships that a person might have which allows them immunity from having to disclose what that person said to the other in that relationship. A common privilege you may have heard of is the doctor-patient privilege, where anything that a person says to their doctor for the purposes of medical treatment is privileged; that is to say, whatever the person tells their doctor is confidential, and nobody can force the doctor to disclose what was said to him or her except under extremely narrow circumstances.
This privilege was created at least in part for the general welfare of the public; a person's ability to trust in their doctor includes the assurance that no matter how embarrassing, a patient can tell the doctor exactly what is wrong and how it got that way so that the doctor can do their absolute best to treat the patient by having the most accurate information from their patient.

Electronic Problems.
One of the unique challenges for small business owners is the necessity for you to be something of a Renaissance person, the need to be proficient in everything, IT, accounting, logistics; and as they say, when you're in charge, everything is your fault.
Our e-mail system was operating perfectly for years; at least, that's what we thought. You'd think that if your e-mail was allowing messages to be delivered to you, and you were able to send messages, that would be the definition of "functioning," and you'd be right as long as you had checked all of the addresses in your domain. To our surprise and dismay, messages sent to "info@downyok.com" were not getting through to us!
We fixed it, but we did miss quite a few messages, and if we missed yours, we are deeply sorry for any inconvenience it might have caused. We are confident that we've now fixed it, and hope that you'll write us if we can help you with your labor, employment, and criminal law needs.
