    Mmm.  Not so fast, Andy.  
    
    Whyte found a "likelihood of success" in the *claim* that RTC
    (CST really) had a right to injunctive relief based on 
    *probably* being able to prevail on the ownership question.  
    No final determination has been made, nor have any of the 
    defendants abandoned that as a defense.

    Don't mis-state our case, Andy.  I ain't even begun to
    become offensive.

    The Wollersheim SLAPP victory in California when added to
    Brinkema's "unclean hands" judgement could upset the whole
    scieno-litigation skripture.
