Great post, again, Peter. NFL seems to be licking its wounds.
I must admit to a bit of jealousy here. I never got threatened by a lawsuit
from NFL :( That would look good a fellow's raw resume. Perhaps when I get
together my copies of NFL and the iranian's book I can compare a few
paragraphs online and then I, too, will be party to a lawsuit threat. Heck,
lets spread it out: if everyone subbed to this list posted their favorite
plagiarized paragraph in NFL then wethreekings could sue _everyone_. Kind
of a class action suit ;)
Actually, I am surprised NFL hasn't sued all the cooked food eaters in the
world--after all they cause all the war and other nasty stuff. Ah, but the
cooked food jurors would be blinded by their evil addictions...
Cheers,
Kirt
