Hi Marc,

IANAL, but IIRC from the contract law class I took back in college, it
requires an exchange of consideration and a "meeting of the minds." If
you can show that both parties understood themselves to be agreeing to
the same thing, you have a contract, even on a handshake. On the other
hand, if you can show that the parties reasonably had a significantly
different understanding of what they were agreeing to at the time they
agreed to it, or that they weren't indicating agreement on anything at
all then no contract formed.

Hi John,

Can you identify the exchange of consideration involved during a
legacy registration? Can you identify the terms on which the minds
met? I'll be happy to share the documentation from my registration
back in the early '90s if you need an example to review.
