What!? Geez, dude..
Your implication is false. And I'm a little offended to read criticism posted
on my website of my action taken to protect my property. I should not have to
defend myself for running my business as a business just because you would not
do so.

BTW, your "knowledge" that TLC has been uptight about their logo's use on
LUGNET is also false! ...it's amazing how rumors get started.
