Look, William, you don't have to convince me. I don't have any power to
decide this issue. The people you have to convince are the courts and the
legislators. Have you the money to pay enough top lawyers as the INTA and
WIPO? The DNRC has been fighting the WIPO process, which is the extension of
the INTA takeover of the DNSO on an international scale, for years. Have
they won? Have they stopped WIPO? Why not? Because they haven't enough money
and enough lawyers to write all the briefs and reports. Do you?

No, they are not there for anyone to see. There are almost no studies, and
the ones that have been made aren't conclusive, or have been refuted. There
aren't more than probably two or three people in the world, including Milton
Mueller, able and interested in presenting your case. On the other hand, the
trademark interests have thousands of lawyers and many millions of dollars
for this fight. The numbers that the legislators and courts will see will be
their numbers. If you base the case on numbers you will lose.

You are living in a dream world. Please take off the rose-colored glasses so
that your energy and intelligence can be of practical use.
