HEY CINDY, TAKE A LOOK AT THIS! They are so arrogant, that they think they are above the law. I am laughing every single day since they got served those court papers. Now let's see how they can convince the judge about the "joke". To: Janice Shell (3949 ) From: Jeffrey S. Mitchell Tuesday, Apr 13 1999 7:20PM ET Reply # of 3983 I don't think my lawyer is an expert in trademark law but I'll ask him tomorrow for his opinion. My guess is he says "what's the big deal about taking the name off". As I told Business Wire, our little group is not one to be intimidated and more likely to fight than switch, but I'll ask. Maybe we should just all change our names instead and take up a "safe" hobby like gardening. At least the pay is the same... double zero! As for having paid for the release and the account, which we did, BW says that doesn't give us the right to put the actual release up on our web site. I suppose we'd have to pay for that right as well. This brings up an interesting point: does BW care that their PRs are plastered all over SI? I'm sure the issuers love it as the idea is to get the word out to as many people as possible, but is BW essentially looking the other way unless they wish otherwise? Or does SI pay BW to allow their PRs posted here? - Jeff www3.techstocks.com 14 DAYS AFTER, JEFFY BOY AND BILLY BOB GOT SERVED!lololololol Message 9182601 GUESS WHO IS LAUGHING NOW? "Get the joke yet judge?"lolololol It sure looks like BW does not want to waste any time. Keep on mocking them boys! Maybe they will change their mind<wink>lolololol OR maybe the judge will soon get the joke! BTW, the law firm Steinhart and Falconer is a huge lawfirm, and was used and is being used by The Oakland A's, and The San Francisco Giants baseball teams from what I heard. They are a 5 star lawfirm.lololololololol
