Re[2]: [Am-info] Microsoft's legal strategy?

[Gene Gaines]

John,

I suggest you are wrong.

Think Attila the Hun.

"King of the Huns (434–53). He ruled with his elder brother
until 445, his dominion extending over Germany and Scythia
from the Rhine to the frontiers of China. In 447 he devastated
all the countries between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean,
defeating Emperor Theodosius II (ruled 408–50). In 451 he
invaded Gaul, but was routed by Aëtius, the Roman commander,
and Theodoric I, King of the Visigoths, on the Catalaunian
Plain. He retreated to Hungary, but then made an incursion
into Italy (452), devastating several cities, Rome itself
being saved only by the personal mediation of Pope Leo I.
The Hunnish empire decayed after his death."

Think of Attila and his brother hunkering down around a
campfire in the year 447, surrounded by a horde of loyal,
screaming spear-carriers, having just ravished a small
town which stood in their path, the smell of fresh blood
still on their clothes.  And the next town sends out their
town council to demand to know if the Huns are observing
their local laws.

Now, think how this horde might instruct their legal team.
