Uncle's. Let me resolve this trademark dispute, cause we don't want to loose either of you fine men.

Uncle Frank has the franchise on upper case first letter "Uncle".

unclewest could be granted the franchise on lower case first letter "uncle".

The fact that unclewest is a compound word also weakens Frank's claim.

Now get back to work, both of you.

btw, did you know I copyrighted the "uncle" prefix when I joined SI back in '95? When are you
going to start sending me royalty checks <g>.

Uncle Frank


Uncle Frank,

If you start receiving royalty checks, does that make you a Gorilla? What's the switching cost of going with unclewest? <g>

Jeff
