Maybe it's just me, but I would think that simply getting them listed on stopbadware.org and other similar sites would probably have much more of an effect.

No, he *does* want fruitful language - one that produces results. I think you meant some other word instead. As far as "acting like a child", I'm reasonably sure that if CNet was doing the same thing to the good name of your consulting company, you'd react similarly. > ----- Forwarded message from Fyodor <fyo...@insecure.org> On the other hand, just being Fyodor is sufficient to get him taken seriously.
