Margaret

I am furious!

I've just sent an email to Margaret. I hit enter and
the damned thing sent when I was halfway through a
sentence that I'd gone back to change.

Neither of you will get a copy because I wasn't ready
to send it, when it went.

The sentence I was fixing when it sent ends like this
now...

I am deadly serious about having our dispute solved by
a court because that

Oh well, not much I can do it about it now.

Below is a copy for you.

Rick

Hello Margaret,

This is getting ridiculous! We have bent over
backwards to satisfy you, yet you are never satisfied.
You want our site to be 'the invisible'
site.

What you are doing amounts to harassment!

I will contact a local attorney here on Monday to
advise me of our legal rights. I will get back to you
sometime later in the week with all
information you need to contact the law firm I will be
using to represent us when I get back to Canberra.
Don't be silly enough to think I am
trying to bluff you. I am deadly serious about having
our dispute solved by a court because that

We are finished negotiating with you. Negotiating
means giving and taking. What have you given?
Nothing.

We can't loose any more in court than we are loosing
by your constant demands that we keep changing things
to suit you.

From the little bit of research I have done, you have
no more legal right to use 'Designs on Demand' than we
do. You do not have exclusive rights
on those words and that will be proved in court.

We are fed up. What ever we do is not enough for you.

We plan to open our site on the 15th. We have already
put off the opening once so we could try to work out
some kind of agreement that was
satisfactory to both us. We will not put off opening
our site again because we now understand there is no
reasoning with you.

We don't need or want continual harassment from you.
The only avenue open to us to stop you being
completely unreasonable is to take out a law suit
against you over fair use of the 'Designs on Demand'
words. As I have told you in the past, nobody can
trademark common English words. This means you have
to get used to the fact that, that not only us, but
anybody can open a site and use those words as their
site title and they can use those words as often as
they like anywhere within their site.

Owning the domain .com name before the .net or .ogr
and any kind of extension has been registered by
another party does NOT give you exclusive
rights to that name!

We refuse to make any more concessions to you. The
law suit will cost both of us thousands of dollars.
I'd rather pay the court costs and have
this issue settled once and for all. When we win, and
I wouldn't go to court unless I was very sure of
winning, I will ask all court costs be
awarded against you.

If you had been willing to meet us even halfway it
wouldn't have come to this. Can you name one thing
you have done to help us sort out this
problem that isn't aimed totally for YOUR benefit?
No, you can't. Youhaven't given one inch!

To this point we have met all your demands and you
still want more. All you have done is throw out
orders "you must do this, you must do that."

We have had enough. You said you didn't want to bring
lawyers into it. You leave me no other choice because
you want everything! We will NOT
make any more changes to our site to please you.

I do not appreciate my vacation being ruined by you.
I want this ended and I want it ended as soon as
possible. The only way I can be fully assured it will
be ended is to let the courts settle it.

After the court case we will use the words Designs on
Demand without the .org on our site anywhere we choose
and as often as we choose.

I am determinded not to respond to your emails again
until after I have leagal advice. I am sick to death
of this! It's childish!

We cannot reason with you, we have tried. The justice
system will sort it out for us.

Sincerely,
Rick
