Hello Friends:

The searchHP.com story just gets worse. Their reply was they would
continue to do whatever they liked. We're contacting our attorney,
and working to get the business press interested in the tactics of
such companies that "abstract" and make money off others' work.

Even in the 21st century there are pirates afloat. Perhaps Eugene
would be interested in this turn of the worm, er, law.
