Jerry, I certainly didn't mean to imply that he was doing nothing when I said I hoped the folks he was jamming would receive a huge settlement from him. Sorry if I was unclear. :) I am concerned, however, that the County siezed a boatload of gear that is not known to be involved in any crime. I think they should investigate first, and enforce later, rather than the other way around.
We're pretty far off topic here, so I hope this will be sufficient to clarify my concerns.
