DId he sign any new paperwork? If he did, like as not, he has NO legal leg to stand on. If you agree to play the game "their" way and then decide you don't like "their" way, you can always go start your own game, but you CANNOT claim that you're playing the game their way while condemning them for playing the game their way. He who owns the trademark gets to make the rules, so unless his lawyers can show some illegal actions on the TMO's part, he can't do a thing. Even if he DOES show illegal actions, all he can ask for is monetary compensation. He STILL can't use the trademark without the owner's permission, no matter how strange the owners get. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Dying to be thin?
