Ah, yes, Andy. An innovative answer. I think they have themselves convinced
that we want to come in someday and confiscate any vehicles or whatever that
have the logo on them because they were ARRL property. Some people create monsters in their own
heads.

COPYRIGHT
Just ask them if they'd mind if it appeared on a
T-shirt that promoted BPL. Without registering it as a trademark, we have
very thin legal protection. (At least Lexington is pretty country... I
went to college there).

Is anyone else getting flack over
the motion we passed about ARES, displaying the copyright mark and ownership of
materials? I’m getting it from some very hotheaded folks around
Lexington, KY who appear to have gotten each other into a feeding frenzy.
I’m considering driving down there to meet with them and am just
wondering if I’m the only person lucky enough to have a fomenting
revolution at hand. Other than this hot spot, I’ve fielded a couple
of benign, curiosity-stimulated questions as to “why now?” from
outside of KY.
