Neil -

I used to work for a company called Procter & Gamble, who decided to sue an Amway salesperson for going around spreading the rumor that the 'moon & stars' logo was associated with Satanic beliefs and practices within the Company.

It was fairly common knowledge that the moon & stars symbol went back to the late 1800's when P&G's candles/soap were boxed up and stamped with a similar logo for identification (a lot of wooden boxes looked the same back then!).

Still, this Amway person spread the 'news' that the management of P&G were into Satan worship! Told people that the CEO or president of P&G was on the 'Donahue' show, talking about his allegiance to Satan!

Some people were amazed that P&G would sue a little bitty old Amway salesperson. I wasn't... Sometimes, you do something JUST BECAUSE IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO! After all, if you don't have your name and reputation, what do you have? (Assuming you care about those things, that is!).

Presstek ought to do the same as P&G, and I guess that's what they are doing.
