We don't need no stinkin' damages!

"...the [Varian Medical] corporate Plaintiffs set forth an approximate amount of $29,100 for "increased security costs", along with "lost employment time re lawsuit" with no quantification and, third, "lost employee productivity due to postings" which it states is not quantifiable but equal to 20 hours up to that point in time."

"...we believe we would be doing our customers and investors a disservice by entering into what could be a protracted legal proceeding." - Richard 'Dick' Levy, President & CEO of VAR

So let's see, with Varian Semiconductor reporting a $39,000 in damages, that makes a grand total of $68,000 that the two Varian SLAPPer corporations are claiming as damages from Internet message board postings after litigating for 790 days and spending millions in attorneys fees!

Be careful who you SLAPP!
