Everyone, Just a few points.
O My aim is to have FS go away from this legal action. O Anything that I will participate in would hopefully atain that goal. O We are not delving into privileged information here, all is a matter of public record. O Most public companies are most worried about their bottom line and if we can put some pressure on that, they just might give it up. O I am sure that if anything we propose here was going to negatively effect GW, they would send up smoke signals some way. As it sits now, I don't think GW is having any issue with our efforts. O Like I said in a prior email, freedom of speech is guaranteed in our constitution as long as it don't put anyone in mortal danger. This legal action is going to be a long and drawn out process if FS wants it to. So, lets continue with our efforts until FS stops or a settlement is reached. Warm Regards..

I have been involved in/with a number of suits over the years, including a major one against Honeywell, and I can state with certainty that my legal team would have gone ballistic if they saw something like this. Lawyers always want to be in control over the publicity surrounding the case; maybe the lawyers won't have a problem with all of this, but maybe they will. The point is, list members aren't in a position to make that call. As just one example of the control that attorneys like to impose is this. When my Honeywell case finally got to trial after 2 years of discovery, they wouldn't even permit my then fiance, or even my mother, to attend court for the 7 weeks that the trial lasted. Not one day, not even when the jury returned a verdict in my favor. Anyhow, I earnestly believe that a bit of caution as it regards public statement might well be in order. Just my 2 cents.
