Do you still have that e-mail? That would be a good thing.

Unfortunately, I don't believe I do.

"Web ring" is an extremely descriptive mark, and if you realllly wanted to
go to court, you might be able to argue fair use. But I certainly don't
think it's worth that!

Yeah, not worth it.  I noted that before so that I could acknowledge it was
possible, but with the move to Lugnet - most likely I won't want to keep the
name 'Lego Maniac's Webring.'  'LUGNET Webring' or some variation of such
might have been nice, if I could dig up that mail to prove the grant and be
assured of its defense.  But IMO, not worth it.  We can come up with
something else.
