Yeah, that was a little disturbing. I used to have an upstairs neighbor who owned a nightclub. The problem was that he'd get home @ 0200 & party loudly for a couple of hours. Not fun when you have to get up @ 0500 to go to work. I tried all of the following w/o success: 1. Asked nicely. 2. Asked not so nicely. 3. Had police come out repeatedly, he would not listen to them either. 4. Asked *very* persuasively in a physical sense(I was 20 years younger then & dumb) Finally after rinsing and repeating the above w/o success I decided to knock politely on his door each morning on my way to work. He'd open the door all bleary eyed, I explained to him that I wanted to be a good neighbor would continue to wish him a pleasant day each & every time he deprived my of sleep. After a couple of early morning interludes he got the point :). -- Bests, Jon
