I don't recall suggesting anyone retain Florian Mueller as their counsel. 
But I find it difficult to refute a number of points he makes:

   - Lodsys isn't afraid to sue, i.e. these aren't idle threats they're 
   making (note that idle != baseless).
   - Legal battles, especially over patents, are expensive. I don't mean 
   new-tablet expensive, I mean new-airliner expensive.
   - Legal battles, especially over patents in East Texas, are risky. Even 
   if Lodsys' claim looks ludicrous to you, you can't be confident of winning 
   this fight.

Can anyone here realistically dispute any of these points? Or, if not, 
present a reasonable alternative to knuckling under to Lodsys' demands?
