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.
