Well, maybe the people in Princeton are halfway good at it; maybe not. Who knows?

But I find it disturbing that Mike Sylver's "covert ops" program (well, hey, do we BELIEVE he paid a real PI? I don't) was such a disaster. I don't use an alias, I don't hide. Mikey's henchmen concluded that I lived in a trailer park in Texas. Passed this "information" to the HITT "legal team", evidently; from them it was picked up by Bizwire, who included it in their last filing.

Are these guys CRAZY?? Pati-Bob turned up the facts about the trailer park people in about an hour. Yet the Goons and two supposedly respectable law firms are capable of getting things THAT wrong?

As previously noted: they shouldn't be suing us, they should be hiring us to teach 'em how to do responsible research.
