Sorry, when I said "case" I meant it in the legal sense of the word.

Obviously the discussion as is doesn't interest you, so don't read it.
 What I wrote was relevant to the discussion as it is, not as you wish it
to be.

An example of the difficulty in enforcing contracts thanks to the legal
system we have. Also a good reason they should work with and not against
future sales. They could stand to make some money off them.

Fair enough, you are entitled to your opinion. Although in my defense
both statements were made in response to someone first telling ME that I
don't understand what I am talking about. Interesting you didn't single
them out for your scorn.

When I see people flying off the handle I have a natural inclination to
try and bring pespective to the discussion. I don't know everything,
that is for sure, but if there is room for one side there should be room
for another.

I've said enough on this, so I'll butt out.

Steve
