Well, this is as good a time as any to announce
that I need to change my web page, so if you've
got my online help wp "Writing for Short Attention
Span Theater" bookmarked, it will soon be changed.
I've received a cease-and-desist order from the
/registered/ trademark holder of the phrase
"Short Attention Span"!!!!!! No, I am not
kidding. And my poor little wp has been sitting
there for at least five years!

Go figure. <sigh>

How does "Writing for Attention Deficit Disorder
Theater" sound???? nah. I'm stumped. Suggestions
welcomed.

But it just goes to show that you never know...

There are lots of questionable trademarks ...out there...
the system allows the ...deepest pockets to pay to lay claim
