and three years later, the holder decides to announce and it becomes
lawyerville.

there is a root problem.  rightly or wrongly, folk were given space with
what we would consider today to be insufficient constraints on contact,
fees. justification of need, ...  that was a contract, whether we like
it or not.

the world has changed.  we would like to change those contracts.  well,
we're gonna have to *negotiate* that.  and acting unilaterally or
arbitrarily will only polarize and make a mess we just don't need.
