I keep seeing the word "victory" in these posts. The parties settled, and Jeff Mitchell's insurance company paid BW a bunch of money, so I don't think that "victory" is the correct term. BW still extracted a pound of flesh from the Webnode 3, with wasted time and effort, and I'm sure some money that will never be reimbursed. Don't get me wrong. I'm happy that this BW foolishness is over for the WN3, and I'm still appalled at BW's conduct, but this is not a victory. If BW had to pay all of the attorney fees and got smacked with a large punitive damage award, now that would have been a victory. This is more of a "whew, thank god this crap is finished."
