To The Editor: I read the “Advice of Counsel” commentary that appeared in the issue of Nov. 21, 2005, entitled “Fairfield Practices Need Changing,” and immediately had the visceral and cognitive reaction that this is certainly another example of the dummying-down of America. The import of the article that I absorbed was that we members of the real estate bar of Fairfield County should get on board with the rest of the state and use “standardized forms” with no meddlesome changes often made by the members of the real estate bar of Fairfield County.

May I point out that there are no standardized forms of people. People, in my experience as a real estate attorney for more than 35 years, come in different mental, intellectual, experiential, knowledgeable and emotional forms. And purchases and sales, although superficially of the same genre, have differences in degree as to the condition of the real property and the individual personalities and anticipations of each individual client who is either purchasing or selling real estate.
