I read the post by Kuhn's about Dobry just seeking a few names so he could depo them... Credit card information is not required to accomplish that goal,<s> and Kugler and I wonder why we were included...since Dobry knows who we are, where we work, where we live...stupid... Mike deserves compliments, as well, for behind the scene work.

No thanks at all go to Lycos/Raging Bull. They claim it's too much trouble for their scant legal staff to have to deal with subpoenas. This from a multi-million dollar publicly traded company that exists solely because of the Internet. Companies that don't stick up for their members are doomed to fail. It's only a matter of time before Raging Bull members make a mass exodus to iHUB. I agree. I think Lycos was extremely short-sighted. If they'd been willing to take a tough stand on this and a few other subpoenae, they'd soon find themselves receiving many fewer of them. As things stand now, pretty much anyone can pay a very small sum and subpoena information from them. The victims usually aren't as well-organized or as familiar with the law as we are, and so don't know how to try to block the action. You'd think they'd stand behind their members. But on the other hand, many of us have noticed that over the last year or so RB appears to have decided to support the touts and shills and the crooked companies that hire them. So I don't think we'll be seeing them stick up for annoying, problematic "bashers" anytime soon.
