Speaking of damages, I'd be interested in just what the plaintiffs felt their damages were, at the time the lawsuit was filed. Was it that they could not take a class they wanted, when they wanted it? Well, boo-hoo, how is that different from a college student closed out a class that filled? They could take it next time with an ASL interpreter that the LLLC apparently offered. Did they pay a registration fee and then find out they could not effectively participate? Fine, give them their $70 back. It looks like they are more interested in PUNITIVE damages than equity and participation, and now enormous legal fees as well. I'm sorry, but 120,000 Villagers did not cause you to lose your hearing. And wouldn't it really be a kick in the rear if it turned out any or all of these people lost hearing due to their own actions----loud concerts/band members, failing to wear hearing protection in a job that recommended it, etc.
