Update of Update on R****haven...
Fred's goal meter says we're 75% there -- that's good, but not good enough. Do remember, that his costs include not only this extortion law suit, but the monthly fees of keeping Rantburg open. Some of us have pledged for the 15th and that is good. So, that 75% ($1,000 needed for the law suit) -- consider it only 50% so Rantburg continues to exist.As we continue in this season that we count our blessings, we must also remember, freedom isn't free. If you appreciate Fred providing you a speaking box at the corner of 1st and Main in Rantburg to express your freedom of speech, then, ante up.... you're be a better person for doing so. I reached agreement with Righthaven the beginning of October. I've been waiting for the paperwork since then. Squire Cingold called me to see how it was going and I told him, and he called them for me to see what was up. In the course of the resulting poopstorm they said they sent me the papers by email the day I talked to them, plus a followup. Never saw any of them -- presumably eaten by Gmail's spam filters, even though I got their latest holler. Anyway, I'm not supposed to disclose the amount of the settlement by the terms of the agreement, but it's more than is currently in the Rantburg bank (or in my checkbook after paying for a new HVAC system in October...) So if you've got spare change, please kick in. By this point it's easier to spend four digits to make it go away than to spend five digits defending it, which is what they count on.
