I agree; shallow legal threats are easy to make - much easier to make
than to follow through with. My reading of Brandt is that while he'd
LIKE to prevail in court, I doubt he has the fiscal or legal means to
mount a successful case, and that he'd rather keep the threat hanging
over than risk losing.
I suspect he'd rather encourage someone else with deeper pockets to sue us.
As an aside, I do wonder how much libellous vandalism on our site is
thanks to people who'd like to see us get in trouble for it?
