I wouldn't ordinarily jump in to a matter like this, but this just seems totally inappropriate. If you've been libeled, then you can choose to take appropriate legal action. Posting legal documents to a public webmaster board isn't appropriate legal action.

If lee wants to remove this thread then feel free too, it was only put here to get him to take notice of the fact, as after talking to many people in the industry he seems to only ackowledge certain communications and ignore others!
Any competent attorney knows how to locate someone in order to properly serve them. Likewise, any competent attorney knows that serving a cease-and-desist through posting to a public message board does not qualify as proper service.

Lee publicly acknowledges (and I think is somewhat proud of) his reputation as an asshole. I happen to think he's a *professional* asshole, meaning it's a persona that he carefully cultivates and uses to build his business and visibility. But... because of his persona, a lot of people dislike him... and I think you've done the near-impossible, which is to get people on Lee's side through your actions.

I'd consider rethinking the way you're handling this. Even if you do drag the matter through the courts, which is both expensive and unlikely to succeed, my guess is that the effect among those in the industry who otherwise don't know much about you and your program won't be positive.

Not judging, just offering suggestions.
