  Right, we did not. In addition, we've heard from a ton of people asking how we were able to do this. They each have a story about trying to do something in this space and trying to work with ICC (or one of the other ones) and getting nowhere. Half the stories are about people failing to convince them to let them touch their laws and half are about people who just assumed they're in the clear and then get a letter with 12 top corporate litigators saying they'd be suing them personally in federal court. I happen to be at a point in my life where I don't have much to lose and hence when I fell into the second bucket, was able to fight back. But yeah, they're trying to personally bankrupt us.
