Barb,

I'm not a lurker. I am also a big fan of Janice, Jeff and Bill. But I don't see the relevance of Cindy's past posting in regards the current issue. Yes I know all about the history between Cindy and Janice and that there has been a lot of animosity. But Cindy's post did not only sound reasonable, it was reasonable. You and I can disagree with her analysis, in fact I do disagree with several of her points, but it was a reasonable exposition and deserves to me treated that way. Imo.

FWIW I disagree with Cindy on the issue of BW being between two fires. Other than the touts and scam artists who hate the fact that the W3 keeping kicking over the rocks under which they live, I doubt more than a few people complained at all. Reasonable people, such as Wired, quickly recognized the parody and laughed it off. I also disagree that they relentlessly besmirched BW's name. I have seen nothing prior to the lawsuit that I would characterize as a relentless campaign. I believe that BW is pursuing this because their egos have been bruised. I believe this is a 'slapp' suit designed to scare off anyone else who would consider take advantage of their business practice. A business practice I would suggest they should review.

Henry
