Regarding the LAT/WP settlement negotiations

Regarding the LAT/WP settlement negotiations, I know there are lots of people wondering about this so I will post an announcement as soon as I learn something official one way or the other. I promise. I also know that there is a lot of speculation about this within the anti-Freeper community. Well, that's all it is. Speculation. When and if it settles, I believe that we will be among the very first to know, and I will post a notice as soon as I can after I receive word. In the meantime, I would not place a whole lot of confidence in anything the anti-Freepers post. We will all know soon enough.
Thanks very much, Jim

Your strange too

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

thanks for the ping Fred
Jim, I am praying for you
God bless FR
my hunch is everything will go our way
we are a jewel on the internet
FR allows citizens of USA and people from 'round the world to communicate with each other
it is invaluable for freedom
Love, Palo

Why are we negotiating...won't that open the door for attacks from other media outlets...like we are giving up?

[swheats]

I guess that's why I'm NOT on the negotiating team. ;)

I'm glad you know that. We all can breathe a little easier now.

C'mon Joe, the sky isn't falling. Nobody is going to sue FR becuase they think they'll get a few bucks out of it. FR doesn't have any assets to speak of, it operates from quarter to quarter on fundrasiers not of Jim's doing. Think about it.

While were on it, do you honestly think Jim is going to sign a settlement that includes a million dollar payment? All the Post wants is for us to quit posting full articles. They know we have no money and Jim is not going to ask Forum participants to pony up that kind of money, he would probably declare BK before doing that and the Post knows it. At best, they may get a few thousand to offset filing fees, but nothing on the damages and nothing for lawyer costs.

If Jim settles, we start excerpting and linking and all other publication entities will see that and go away. The original nature of the Forum will change some, but we will still be here, still posting and still FReeping.

Do we live in the same world..EVERYONE wants a piece of somone elses property..it is the American way

My guess is there will be others. Closing your eyes not to see the oncoming train does not make it go away. FR had "nothing" when this suit was filed..and they still filed didn't they.

We had best be prepared..

Rendell may not have the "charm" of JFK, but I meant that he is the kind of eastern big-city liberal that the Kennedys admire. Casey is more in the HHH political school. Of course, both JFK and HHH carried PA!!!

And what do you think that indicates?

[RnMomof7]

Just that not having tangible resources does not protect you from litigation

My guess is this is just the start,not the finish.We will see....
