Thanks for the reply, but that was hardly taking me to task.  Milestone your are not.  You fail to provide any logical explanation for the separate prs, which were only a few minutes apart and said exactly the same thing.  Nor did you find anything odd with respect to the two very different NEC prs. 

The NDA was expected.  The wording of the pr's?  TPL can offer that as a bargaing chip because it has zero impact on TPL. (if negotiations are one sided, why settle?).  It was always clear to me that TPL was taking the high road with respect to how it approached this trial.  For good reason.  They could well be back for a shoot out with ARM or who knows who else?  You want leave the court with good impressions, not bad ones.  Your thought of wanting TPL to go out of its way to embarass these companies, is probably frustration talking not logic.  All IMHO       Opty
