Joe,
FS is not a publicly traded company. In fact, last year the company
was bought by a private equity company in Dubai. If I'm remembering
correctly, the current and the previous lawsuit against Serotek both
occurred since that private equity acquisition.

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.. Joe Lanier

Guys,
Has anyone given consideration to the possibility that all of this public
hand wringing and strategizing might not be wise?
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.
