Then Tony Sanders got in touch and said that it looks like they would be backing down. Anyway they did. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Update: earth.com case withdrawn by plaintiff From: Tony Sanders <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Fri, 12 Mar 1999 16:10:19 -0700 Hello from Tony Sanders, operator of the domain earth.com I have good news, Today my lawyers informed me that Mondial Trading Company had dropped the lawsuit on March 5th (they just got the paperwork today, 3/12). Mondial's motion was: NOTICE OF DISMISSAL Plaintiff, Mondial Trading Co., hereby dismisses the subject action without prejudice. It's online here: http://www.earth.com/underfire/dismissal.txt This means that it's over - at least for now (they could refile but it doesn't look like that was their intention). I would like to again thank Bret Fausett and Diane Cabell for representing me. And a big Thank You to all those who wrote letters of support. I'll let you know if anything changes. Always nice to see the bastards back down. ____________________________________________________________________ ----- End forwarded message ----- --------------End of forwarded message------------------------- ---------------------------------- E-Mail: William X.
