Tell them to stuff it in a place where the sun doesn't shine!  We got too
many lawyers as it is and they should get a real life!  USO golf players
should realize that they suck ineptly and that USOTW or TWUSO does not
belong to them.  A few years back Wells Fargo Bank tried suing Fargo Wells
of Fargo ND for copyright encroachment or somesuch. Fargo Wells had been in
business of drilling water wells for over 100 years and needless to say
Wells Fargo lost the case. MacDonald's tried suing MacDonald's Bed and
Breakfast in Scotland a few years back also and to their chagrin found they
were trying to sue Lord MacDonald of the Highlander Clan who has total
control of anyone using his name under Royal Decree in Scotland. He was
amused and considered suing them and probably settled with them paying him
out of court. Can anyone tell us which play that Willian Shakespeare wrote
where he made the statement "When the revoution arrives we start by
killing the lawyers."?

>From a message by Silver Dragon about OT: Copy right an Acronym?:
> Today Mac from Fen got a 15 page letter stating that USO is a copy
righted trademark of some other company. Understandable. Does anyone forsee
the same issue if I typed it correctly as an acronym? like U.S.O? can
people copy right acronyms? I mean there is a U.S.O tennis tourny as well
as golf.
