Forget it, most of these guys just want to see Amiga dead and buried (I actually saw a post the other day, where the person specifically said he wanted to see AmigaOS4 fail - he obviously believed that MOS can only succeed if it has no competition).  My guess is that they want Amiga, Inc to go bankrupt so that Genesi can buy the IP dirt-cheap and "become" the Amiga (especially the "name, inc" trolls).  Every time Fleecy shows up with his trivial banter, he reminds them that the object of their hatred is still alive, and they don't want to see this staring at them from the front page.

SlimJim is right - this is only a hobby.  Some people obviously lead pretty easy lives if they get so worked up about something so trivial.  I'm off to do my taxes...

Is this the lawsuit where Bill Buck wanted the AmigaDE for hardware they never made?

Yep, sounds like a pointless lawsuit designed to bleed the competition dry.  Bill Buck has lots more money than Amiga, Inc (or at least, he believes he does), so he doesn't care that he'll lose the lawsuit.  The *real* plan is to drag it out long enough to bankrupt Amiga, so he'll be able to buy the rights to The Name nice and cheap.  He'll have lost the battle, but won the war.

It's not illegal, so it's OK, right?  ;-)
