Your views re merits of Wallace's allegations are beside the point under 12(b)(6) standard. As for proof, "A plaintiff must prove (1) that the prices complained of are below an appropriate measure of its rival's costs and (2) that the competitor had a reasonable prospect of recouping its investment in below cost prices." And Wallace already addressed both elements in his reply brief. regards, alexander. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
