I received this e-mail an hour or so ago:
Return-Path: <BLIVOT1@aol.com> From: BLIVOT1@aol.com Date: Sun, 21 Dec 2003 10:35:57 EST Subject: FOTD Website To: jamth@mindspring.com (Jim Muth)
Hello Jim, I am the owner of the federally registered trademark Blivot which is listed in the Library of Congress. I must ask you to eliminate the word blivot on your website, unless you wish to be licensed by my corporation to use my trademark. Usage of a registered trademark and the trademark symbol without expressed written permission is a federal offense. If you wish to use my trademark e-mail me at <blivot1@aol.com> for licensing agreement.
Apparently the non-word 'blivot', which I might have used in a FOTD, is a registered trademark. Since I am not the owner of the offending web site/sites, I pass the letter on here so that Paul and/or Scott can be aware that someone might have his feathers ruffled. I have contacted the sender, telling him that the FOTD web sites are not mine. BTW, there will be no FOTD for today, December 21. Jim M.
