RE: Trademark question

["Dan Goldstein" <DGoldstein -at- riverainmedical -dot- com>]

Hi James,

Yes, I've seen it before, but that's not the point. It's ugly and
awkward, but that's not the point, either.

The point is: Accept the company lawyer's opinion on legal issues. You'd
expect her/him to accept your opinion on tech writing issues, wouldn't
you?

Thanks,

Dan
