The estimated value of styleforum.net is: $41,382

haha, yes....and lots of brittle underwear too.

l'm a bit skeptical of dnScoop. Google is only worth 484 Million.

lol.

l'm sure the seedy `Playboy' mention would have bumped up the old mans figures too.

well, I don't know. I'm not a copyright lawyer. But I do know that the copyright holder (ie the right to republish) always belonged to the author of the letter. The owner of the physical letter could always sell it, but they couldn't publish it until the copyright expires. I'm not sure what the internet law is. But my theory is if you ban me you should ban all of my posts. Where is that Coolidge kid: write a certified letter. threaten bad stuff. see what happens.
    Back in my younger days, when I would occasionally do a collection, I used to quote a letter that supposedly came from a Saville Row firm. I think I first read it in Playboy:
    Dear sir: we are informed you owe such and such. Unless you render payment immediately we will take steps that, quite literally, will astound you.
   PS. you can't write those letters anymore and I find it hard to believe that Saville Row, according to Douglas Fairbanks' autobiography, that considered accounts to be current if you paid the bills in 6 months, would write such a letter. but who knows.

you could always make a sockpuppet, spend a lot of time there, work your way up to a moderator, and then delete them all yourself
