I completely share the contempt for the litigious attitude.  In a way, it's 
too bad that the laws require people to go after the little guys if you 
don't want it thrown out of court when you go after the big guys -- though I 
understand the reason for it.

Still, I have tremendous respect for how the Looneys handled the "Search, 
Ponder and Play" situation:

(Be sure to click on the link to Kristin's letter.)

So I'm sure they'll handle this situation with similar sensitivity.  I hope 
the woman who did this nice creative thing is as approachable as the guy at 
Covenant was.
