Hm. I find that letter pretty UNimpressive, myself.
It's all about "look, I have a legal hammer and things could have gotten far nastier" and not about intellectual property and what's *wrong* (rather than merely illegal) about plagiarism.
Now, maybe this makes sense in the context of the discussion on the role-playing board. But it doesn't seem to me to add much to the larger discussion. I really thought your response to Anonymous was far better.
