So, Ernie, let me ask you this. If Shelby found a way to argue (for his gain) the intellectual property rights on the Cobra design, its naming conventions, etc. and reigned in every copycat manufacturer out there, does that mean that you wouldn't own a Cobra because he wasn't playing nice? Don't beat up the guy (in this case, SPF) that decided to back away from a gun fight because they didn't want to unload their war chest on lawyers and decided to rather unload the same war chest on growing their business. Smart? Arguably. Cunning? Absolutely. Strategic? The jury is still out.
