optionsgal - I don't understand why you insist I leave you alone. Are you saying this forum is ONLY for opt-ins?

I have not told anyone what to do. I think you are mistaking me for the many posters who are telling shareholders what to do. I believe individuals should decide on their own.

I also want peace - it isn't me trying to inflame the situation with comments about trolls and motives and other insinuations. I have tried to stick to issues and answer each question respectfully on its merits and when it is clear no agreement can be reached to drop the matter.

I appreciate that being seen as a free loader might upset some who have opted in, however, I suspect Gowling had a threshold number of opt-ins which once reached would allow them to pursue litigation with vigor. In my experience they won't do this half-heartedly. Once they commit they go all out as nothing less will give them the best result. It is all or nothing for them.
