My lawyer's letter to Jonathan Monsarrat's lawyers

[ron_newman]

My lawyer, Dan Booth of Booth Sweet LLP in Cambridge, sent this 18-page letter to Jonathan Monsarrat's lawyers this afternoon. The letter details all the reasons that he considers the lawsuit against me to be groundless, and demands that Monsarrat's lawyers dismiss the case with prejudice by the end of business on Thursday.

If they don't voluntarily drop the case (which they probably won't), Dan Booth will file a motion for dismissal on Monday, using mostly the same arguments that are in this letter. He may also move for sanctions against Monsarrat's lawyers "for bringing bad faith claims."

He gave me full permission to put this letter online and to distribute it in whatever way I see fit. Feel free to point other people at it or to distribute it further.

Bicycle repair

[gingicat]

I know of three places that can put together a bike from a box; one has a seriously ill owner, two were kinda snarky on the phone about this not-bicyclist's expectations. (Mom-in-law, an avid bicyclist, bought her grandson a well-reviewed used bicycle from a well-reviewed EBay seller. It's an early birthday present for him.)

So, if you wanted to get a bicycle put together this week, where would you go?

(I feel like there needs to be an "oops!" or perhaps an "I'm an idiot" tag.)
