SCN: explaining the funny business

[Steve Mudd]

Hey SCN-
	I don't follow every thread on this list, but I'm
glad I caught this one. I had no idea that Rich Littleton was
suing SCNA board members (and their spouses?).  I moved
from Seattle a couple of years ago, but at one time I was a
regular SCN vol, and still think of it as my 'net roots. The
idea that a freenet could be muzzled and eviscerated by a
couple of frivolous suits seems ridiculous, and weird. I
would be interested in hearing Rich present a rational defense
for his actions. Say Rich, maybe you should add a line to
your board candidate page, like "...and I'll sue the socks
off anyone who offends me."

-Steve
