Brad: I have huge respect for your stand on this. Enough said because I will never be able to say enough.

I also have to say the we, as well as many others, are involved in generating patents. It is one thing to be the legitimate inventor of something and patenting it vs. being an Acaica and blatantly misenforcing a non-applicable patent that should not be valid in the first place.

Hell Puppy: Thanks for the kind words. I have to say that I did not get into this to be a hero. I did not get into this to improve business. I got into this to defend MY company from losing income. I simply came to separate conclusions about what would be good for us than the others that settled came to.

My reasoning came down to a number of factors. Money, obviously, but also seeing that this was a rising trend and a problem that would become endemic to business overall. I thought also "if my customers have less money to spend then they have less money to buy" and that is what helped me to realize what is universally at stake here for all of us. Imagine if Acacia pulls 2 to 200 million out of the industry every year? What is the next shakedown going to be taking out?

So that is how I got myself into this mess... and why I have no intention of getting out until it is cleaned up as much as I am able with the others that have chosen a similar path.
