There's a need to distinguish between legal "threats" and a statement of 
intention to uphold one's legal rights.  People who are just making idle 
threats have a tendency to regularly repeat their threats in all sorts 
of circumstances, and really doing nothing to back up the words.  Like 
Jeff I don't consider legal threats to be a big deal.
