> about not being up to the standards needed to transact simple business dealings.

Last time I checked, signing "Naveen Jain" on the bottom of a contract that said in plain english he agreed to pay us for code he had received was standard business procedure. Perhaps I should have practiced "fraud, extortion, and racketeering" to collect what he owed us, as Infospace revealed Interet Yellow Pages asserted in court in their lawsuit against Naveen. (quoted from Infospace's own quarterly filing with the SEC in 1998)

When he refused to pay or even answer the phone the moment after he received and used our code, it was he who deviated from standard business procedure. I can't help it if he broke the law.

He also refused to pay Hoover's Online for database materials, in violation of contract. Hoover's sued him and Naveen settled within days. That is not an opinion, it is a FACT that can be easily seen in Hoover's and Infospace's press release archives.
