Please, you give me too much credit.  The first person to bring
up the threat of a lawsuit was Len Rose, who called me at 11:00pm
one evening to tell me he was going to see me in court.  We have
since spoken on the phone and via e-mail and there won't be a
lawsuit.  I am sure most of you are heartbroken.

The third person to bring up a lawsuit was Karl Kleinpaste (I
think) who said he was anxiously awaiting his chance to testify
against me in court so that Len could win a large settlement.
What should my reaction to Karl's lynchmob statements be?  Jump
for joy?

And of course there was Larry Foard "I hope Len wins a very
large settlement" statement.  And Greg Lindahl "I hope he gets
compensation".  And the granddaddy of all was Jim Thomas'
statement on Oct >11th< that I should prepare myself to be sued.
Yes, clearly I am out threatening to sue everyone in this group.
Render unto me a f*cking break.

So please, before you or anyone else accuse me of "threatening"
to sue you, just remember, I didn't.  You might see "intent"
because you are intentionally stupid, or possibly because you
lack the ability to read what other people wrote long before
I rejoined this group a few short days ago.

Yes, this is a lynchmob.  You aren't interested in helping
anyone, only in speculation and rumors.  Seven months or so
ago it was "hang Len".  Only the names have changed.  Who will
it be in another seven months?
