Subject: RE: INFRINGEMENT BY ATTRITION.ORG


Dear Jeanne Hamburg:

The postal address associated with Attrition.org is fictitious. No US
Postal mail was received from you or your firm. Further, you erroneusly
claim you have received no communication from me after. That is an
outright lie, or someone at your firm has mishandled this dialogue. 

Your firm mailed a word document with no explanation to
jericho[at]dimensional.com on June 4, 2001. I replied to that mail
(originally sent by Dorothy.Izak@bakerbotts.com). Further, I replied from
jericho[at]attrition.org on June 4, 2001 in reply to your "Unprofessional
Conduct" (the subject of the e-mail), which was sent to
theresa.melody@bakerbotts.com and Jeanne.Hamburg@bakerbotts.com. I once
again told you that you needed to send me your original mail in ASCII
text, not a Microsoft Word document. Your next communication was June 21,
2001 and was replied to within 2 business days despite your irrational
demand that I reply by the next day. 

I will state right now that your initial lack of reply and subsequent
seventeen day reply puts you in NO position to demand my immediate
replies. Because someone in your organization did not share my mail
with you does not mean I didn't reply. The fact that you have multiple
people contacting me and not coordinating on your side reinforces my
opinion that this is a frivilous lawsuit and focuses on threats and
harassment to get your way.

Would you care to cite which two cases you have concluded that resulted in
termination of infringing uses? After I read more about those I will then
give this issue the attention it deserves.
