PatiBob, as per my previous post, many of the e-mails (which contained cut and pastes of posts from this thread and RB) were sent out, as in e-mailed, in January of 1999. Obviously this stuff just sat around in someone's office in Vegas until the "appropriate time" whereupon it was xeroxed and attached. I mean, geez, they included the e-mail headers! In other words, no attempt was made to track down a URL, verify what Pugs sent was actually said, and then do a screen print for authenticity (at least a much higher degree of authenticity than an e-mail that is simple text that can easily be changed). Pugs and Kuhns never attempted to hide their joy every time AZNT apparently told them they were finally going to sue lots of people for bashing. Things got so absurd that Graystone even created a thread last July called "A Party in Vegas" (see: siliconinvestor.com . Long after the SI thread pretty much died and most of the people on the list became, at best, lurkers, AZNT sued. Pugs and Kuhns crowed that finally we'd all get to sort this out in a courtroom. Yet, despite the quarter billion AZNT was seeking, Dean has said that AZNT was all too eager to have he and Cynthia DeMonte settle. AZNT never named a black corporation and never pursued RB and SI. They fabricated evidence against me and lied about Tonto calling Sylver and cursing him out, and then didn't even bother to respond to Janice's motion to dismiss. Does this sound like a company that thought it had a case? Was the only reason why they sued because Pugs and Kuhns put pressure on them to do so? Yes, you are correct that "only the person who originated the suit can answer" why they sued, but it seems to me that Pugs and Kuhns played as important a role in the lawsuit as anyone. They've gone from the cat who ate the canary to miners who just saw the canary keel over in its cage. Why is that? What are they afraid of? If I were them I'd think strongly about volunteering an answer. The sooner the better. - Jeff
