> RE: Your letter, received April Fools' Day
> Let me begin by stating, without equivocation, that I have no interest in infringing upon any intellectual property belonging to Monster Cable. Indeed, the less my customers think my products resemble Monster's, in form or function, the better.
> Similarly, as I note further below, you omit reference to another patent Monster has held which appears, frankly to be fatal to your position. If you expect to persuade me, you had better start making full, open and honest disclosures
> It looks like when you sent this letter, you were operating on the premise that I am not smart enough to see through your deceptions or sophisticated enough to intelligently evaluate your claims; shame on you.
> You are welcome to point out any errors in my reasoning; but I have to say that I will be unreservedly surprised if you are successful in doing so.
> It may be that my inability to see the pragmatic value of settling frivolous claims is a deep character flaw
