An open letter to Sarah Gatenby:

If you think that you will gain one customer by all of this huffing and
puffing, attempted intimidation and bleating, I would suggest that you
might think again.

Bullying doth not a customer base build.

Additionally, unless you can prove that "your" Lancelot Yellow was one
and the same individual as the one Roy claims for an ancestor, who then
begat one son only (no daughters) who begat one son only who begat one
son only until finally you, an only child, were born, you are NOT the
only person in the world who can claim total "ownership" of the
afoementioned Lancelot Yellow. Which is an absurd goal at best.

Here in America, we would simply say to you, "Get a life!"
