This the latest email received from Ed Trice with my response. Since this matter is potentially pending litigation, please do not respond. If you do respond you may be dragged into litigation. ICD will have the final say in how this is handled since they are the major stakeholder. =================================================== Forwardingto my attorney, just for the sake of completeness. I assume other variants are off topic as well. Is this true? It is now a "chess only" or "computer only" discussion board? If not, is there now a policy change document you can forward to myself regarding protection of intellectual property rights via 100% censorship? May I request the minutes to such a meeting? As we discussed, I advised you that the Gothic Chess patent was out of bounds, not Gothic Chess "in toto" [sic]. I am requesting that you acknowledge that you have been so advised by me, yet you have elected to do otherwise, despite a potential downward trend in sales should Gothic Chess disappear completely from your board. Thank you for your complete cooperation. No response will be indicative of complete agreement to everything I mentioned. --Ed Trice =================================================================== Ed, For completeness, we have forwarded your request to the management of ICD for response. No final decision has been made. In the interim, please forward your attorney the bylaws as is forbidden that any commercial exhortation be made on our forums. If you are concerned about sales or potential sales, then you are obviously your posts have a commerical intent. The issue of chess variant was not the issue - the decision was based your intended commercial exploitation of CCC by promoting Gothic Chess for material gain and the issue that you threated litigation unless you you got your way. http://www.talkchess.com/ccc_charter.html Best, Michael
