No, I rather enjoy silly threats. You probably know I've been sued already on Fidonet-matters and won.
In the meantime the law on civil suits has been changed to avoid reckless suits so that the plaintiff pays all the costs and legal fees of the accused when losing.
Remember that when the late Helmut Hullen sued me, I had to pay my own attorney but German sysops set-up a Kraut-funding ... 8-) ... {with others chipping in} to defray the costs. That is not necessary anymore. That's one thing.
The second thing is that this country has beautiful language laws (we have 3 national languages) and in order to sue me, the plaintiff now will need to have every relevant document translated into dutch by a court-appointed professional translator ... meaning translating P4, FTS-1 and whatever else at horrendously high costs. The case would need to be tried in Belgium, not in California, based on dutch-language documents, not english-language. That would be their first expensive mistake. Should the court accept english documents anyway, the Supreme Court will throw it out as a language violation ... it takes about 8 years. Unlike the US, the Supreme Court here has to hear every case presented to it (hence the long period). That would be their second mistake.
But, I think you have pointed-out there are sufficient ways to deal with the matter and upset no-one.
