Hi, I thought I understood your website (mailing list archive) but I did not until now. You did get a "form letter" which was inappropriate for this forum. Apologies for any inconvenience. Please ignore my earlier email and if I offended anyone, I'm sorry.

And your message (the one above) was sent to the mailing list. Your message will also be archived. Please stop using the offending word in messages that you send to the mailing list, as the person who owns that trademark thinks it is very bad for mailing-list archives to include any mention of his product. Apparently he does not want anyone to know that his product exists, and he will take it very seriously if you mention his product anywhere. >We have had to continually police the use of Livecast >on the Internet, including recently filing a trademark >infringement lawsuit in federal court against CNN/SI. We will wait with eager amusement to see you sue yourself for trademark infringement. Please note that I myself have not mentioned the offending word, other than to quote your usage of it, so there is no need to send your lawyers after me. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
