That one blogger in Mass should have arranged a meeting at the developer's offices to sort things out nice and civilly-like -- and then tripped on the front door jam walking in. Oops, how much liability do you have on your business insurance...? About five years ago there were a bunch of cease and desist letters received by businesses all through my hometown, Thunder Bay. Seems that eBay didn't like the way that we all shorten the name to T-Bay, something we've done since the name was born. Had to laugh -- this two-year old (or whatever) company trying to tell the citizens of a foreign country what they can and cannot call their city! If it had been me, I would have given them three words: Come and get me. (Okay, that's four. So sue me...) ~Graham That’s pretty scary.
