Thank you. I think the list of interrogatories that Delfino's attorney put together are very good. Perhaps that's why Varian is fighting so hard to avoid having to answer them. The beauty is all four plaintiffs must answer them. I am still constantly amazed that these two corporations would go down the path of fighting my ability to describe a vice-president as fat and a director as crazy because she believes people were making faces at her that no one else ever corroborated including a camera she hid in her office for 5 weeks. Before the preliminary injunction (since dissolved by the US Appeals) prohibited me from doing so, I had no interest in either. Did I have any doubts about the victory in the US Appeals? Not at all. In fact, Delfino had put up the wager of $1,000,000 that we would win and unfortunately, there were no takers. The Varian SLAPP is typical of most SLAPP's in that there is no merit to the case and the purpose is to silence their critics. Unfortunately for Varian, they picked on the wrong two people. The case now in California Superior Court should be most entertaining to watch as the Varian plaintiffs struggle to prove their case. As I have said over and over...be careful who you SLAPP!
