I was trying to dialogue with you and you chose to challenge my posting efforts.

Let me turn it around. Why do you feel compelled to not post more often? Why question chatting in a chat room?

"But exactly where and how, information about the number of filings, would jeopartize any strategy?"

Since that advice came from DM you might have to get that answer from them. Are you suggesting EDIG not follow the advice of counsel?

EDIG has stated that future infringers may be able to derive information from details of one case that they could use in their defense against EDIG.

That was the explanation. I don't doubt it or endorse it...that's just the way it is. (sorry Walter)
