krusty & legal issues, part 3

[Richard Welty <rwelty@domain.elided>]

as i said in an earlier posting, i am now pretty happy with the legal
advice i'm getting. a letter as been sent giving a reply to the one i
received on september 8th. it is quite concievable that this will all go
away now (for krusty and me at least). it's a little hard to say, as often
when people back down on these things you simply never hear from them
again; thus, there will probably not be a definable moment at which i can
say "it's over" -- although if they don't back down, there will certainly
be a moment at which i can say "nuts, it's not over".

right now it would be a really, really bad idea for me to identify the
particular postings that started this and the person who originated the
complaint. there may never be a good time to make this identification.

at the moment, krusty's legal bills amount to less than $150 (i think
they're going to be about $120, but i've not seen the actual bill yet.) i
don't think there's a need to start a "krusty legal defense fund", but i
may well make another request for help keeping things going (i've already
made such a request on the bmw-digest, but i've not yet mentioned this on
the other lists.) if so, this will appear in another, separate posting.

one of the other things that will be happening "real soon now" is that
krusty is going to be converted from a simple d/b/a into a LLC; many have
suggested this and i've been pondering it myself for a little while now.

cheers,
