Leon if you threaten to sue on a forum board doesn't that mean you lost the argument and you are not a big enough man to admit it?

No, it usually means whomever is threatening the suit, be it a lawyer (most times) or a layperson, is an idiot and doesn't know the law. Some of my funnest moments are toying with lawyers who don't do their homework on Section 230 of the Federal Communications and Decency Act and send me Cease and Desist orders. Section 230 protects forum owners against lawsuits for what their users (publishers) say on the forum. Of course I am liable for what I say but not what you say.

Oh, I just thought it meant you were guilty

In the late 1970's, I received a response from 1950s player Ted Tappe. He signed his name on a 3x5, and on the bottom of the card wrote "Get yourself a real hobby"

And, in the late 1980's I received a reply from a rookie (who shall remain nameless) who went on to a 15+ year Major League career, who signed the index card and added "Things for righting me"

Let me guess, drafted out of high school...?

Apparently, Ted Tappe's smart a** comment wasn't much of a deterrant, eh?
