Quiet may not be good. What if he is waiting in the shadows of the darkness, just waiting to strike out in retaliation. :o ???

Now you have me worried. Do I need a bodyguard? Fortunately it's a long while ago now, so I might be safe. There is also the matter of a few hundred miles between where he lived and myself so he's going to have to be very determined.

In this last case, the person who went crazy was a patent & trademark lawyer.
I am LLCing or INCing my site this month. I am also hiring a firm to do a website audit.
I think we're at the point where we have to - see for yourself - http://www.OurMomSpot.net

I wish you the absolute best Uhura!. I know you have put a lot of time, effort and much of yourself into your site. I wish you much success! :)

Thanks everyone.
I am LLCing my site & I am getting a lawyer to help with the Operating Agreement for the LLC package (which I will put together myself - my state makes it very easy to submit an LLC package, but the Operating Agreement is an important part of that package. It's the part where your legal protections lie, so have a lawyer prep it is wise. I also purchased an LLCing Guide for $14...)
I am also getting the lawyer to do a scrub of my Registration Agreement & Privacy Policy (Terms of Use). This will cost a little bit of money but it's worth it and it has to be done.
So the LLC will protect my family's assets while the Terms of Use will protect the LLC.
I hope this post is helpful to someone. :)
