Thanks for the link. While it has not really changed my opinion (as discussed at 
length in my other reply), I did not know that the 9th Circuit had formalized 
the "overt act" test in their civil procedure rules, so there is at least one 
jurisdiction in the US that does currently work like this. None of the others 
do, to my knowledge, and this is the product of judicial common law, not 
statutory law, so it's still pretty shaky.
