This is quite funny. An attorney is contacting a mailing list about an 
archived SPAM letter that was delivered to the mailing list. I had a good 
chuckle about the absurdity of the situation when I read the link that was 
contained.

First, why not contact the original author of the E-mail in question which 
appears to be "blaine at macrae.com"? Certainly the author is culpable for 
misuse of the trademark.

Second, if "Stock Maven" is trademarked, then certainly "stock Maven", 
which is NOT capitalized would fall under a different trademark?

Ohh.. wait.. I can't really continue this.. I'm laughing too hard to 
type...

Mr. Conlin.. good luck with your crusade, and please keep us all informed 
as to the progress that you achieve. You might also consider suing 
everyone in Goole that returns a hit for the term "Stock Maven", as well 
as Google itself.
