Tell them to stuff it in a place where the sun doesn't shine!  We got too many 
lawyers as it is and they should get a real life!  USO golf players should 
realize that they suck ineptly and that USOTW or TWUSO does not belong to them. 
 A few years back Wells Fargo Bank tried suing Fargo Wells of Fargo ND for 
copyright encroachment or somesuch. Fargo Wells had been in business of 
drilling water wells for over 100 years and needless to say Wells Fargo lost 
the case. MacDonald's tried suing MacDonald's Bed and Breakfast in Scotland a 
few years back also and to their chagrin found they were trying to sue Lord 
MacDonald of the Highlander Clan who has total control of anyone using his name 
under Royal Decree in Scotland. He was amused and considered suing them and 
probably settled with them paying him out of court. Can anyone tell us which 
play that Willian Shakespeare wrote where he made the statement "When the 
revoution arrives we start by killing the lawyers."?

> Today Mac from Fen got a 15 page letter stating that USO is a copy righted 
trademark of some other company. Understandable. Does anyone forsee the same 
issue if I typed it correctly as an acronym? like U.S.O? can people copy right 
acronyms? I mean there is a U.S.O tennis tourny as well as golf.
