A) That's not at all what I said, and the fact that you have willingly and repeatedly misrepresented my argument is just more proof of my premise (that you are a crack head, and not to be taken seriously), as well as drawing your motives even further into question. B) I have made my position plain in several lengthy e-mails, which I will not represent here. Suffice it to say that I believe the trademark owning entity should be extremely discriminating in granting licenses to use the name, but that such licenses should be granted when the product being marketed will add value to the brand.
