Chris, You don't have to agree with Shawn, or anyone else - but the use of "not so subtle threats of litigation" to shut people up REALLY alarms me, and should be of great concern to ALL! The US is a free country, you have a right to free speech and so does everyone else on this list. Don't like the style? Great - add a filter, delete, ignore, criticize, just PLEASE - no "litigation" garbage.. Thank you Henry
