Subject: Daimler hearing date

I just got an email from the Oakland County (Michigan) clerk.
Apparently, that "Notice of Hearing" that was filed on April 15 did
not list a date for a hearing.  As best I can determine, it was just a
notice that a hearing needs to be held, and so both parties better
contact the court about what days would work them (I guess I'll
understand this better when I get a copy of the notice).  He suggested
I inquire again in two weeks to learn whether or not a date has been
set.

You didn't find any volunteers near Pontiac today, did you?

I didn't find the person, no.  But I haven't had time to look hard yet. 
  Did you ask them if they can fax?   I'll pay for the filings, if they 
are willing.

They already told me two weeks ago that their policy is not to fax to
anyone but law enforcement.  Of course, they told me that at the same
time that they made an exception to the policy and faxed me a one-page
docket sheet.  There may be hope that someone could sweet-talk them
into faxing an entire pleading, but I'm not inclined to try that
myself.

Larry Greenemeier said "we'll see what we can do" about getting
someone to the clerk's office.

D'oh!  I didn't even think of that option.  The docket lists Stephen L
Tupper as Daimler's counsel.  His web page is

  http://www.dykema.com/bio/default.asp?firstname=Stephen&lastname=Tupper

which includes his email and phone number: <stupper@dykema.com>,
248-203-0895.

I won't try contacting him because if I were him I wouldn't want to
start doing courtesies for every Tom, Dick, and Harry on the internet.
You represent lots of people though, and can point to your record of
making things available to everyone (so he needn't worry about getting
any more requests).

On the other hand, if you're swamped, I guess I could try calling him
for you "from the offices of Pamela Jones".  Yeah, that might be the
ticket: I'm not nobody, I'm a para-para-legal, damnit.

Thanks, for the email address, not to mention the endlessly funny new  
names... I can write to him, now that you did the hard part, finding  
stuff.

I have 500 story submissions.  If I send you a chunk, would you like to  
go through them and see if there is any "there" there in any of them?   
Obviously there is no deadline, but I'm so swamped, I'm falling more  
and more behind.  And you seem to have the necessary skills.  I've been  
hoping you'd show up.

You're welcome.  I have emacs programmed to semi-automatically select
a name for each message (but I just go with "Al" when I'm trying to
make a less questionable first impression).

Sure, but please don't send me any with large attachments.  My mail
setup is a bit rickety right now.

One problem is, if I may use a Darl word, my "taint".  I'm short
10,000 shares of SCOX.  If there's a large increase in the investing
public's estimation of SCO's prospects, it could cause substantial
damage to my finances.  Even if it's just a temporary spike in the
price, my lender could recall the loan at the wrong time and I would
have to purchase SCOX at the then-current price (that's the
frightening thing about being short rather than long: it's not enough
to be right about where the price will eventually be, you also need to
be not-too-terribly-wrong about where it will be at all points between
now and "eventually").

Thus, I have an interest in suppressing any information favorable to
SCO.  Therefore, it would probably be inappropriate for me to screen
your mail unless someone disinterested is also looking through it for
exculpatory evidence.

All that being said, if you look through my postings at groklaw and
yahoo, you'll see that most of them are actually pointing out errors
in the posts of more rabid linux supporters (who have been wrongly
predicting SCO's imminent doom over and over for twelve months), and
discouraging naive investors from taking huge risks they don't
understand.  By the way, I'm a "Registered Representative" with the
NASD, i.e., a licensed stock broker / investment advisor, although I
quit my job in that industry in December.  As with any other broker,
you can look up (the lack of) any customer complaints about me at
pdpi.nasdr.com/pdpi (my CRD# is 4169912).

You may wish to consult with your or OSRM's counsel about to what
extent you need to keep an arm's-length between us and/or disclose
that I'm in it for the money (as well as the love).

That probably wasn't clear: the huge risk I'm talking about here is
that of selling SCOX short.  

The few people on the yahoo board who are actually buying SCOX
generally seem too hopeless to bother trying to reason with.

I just got to this email.  Eeek.

I need to think about this. If you hadn't told me, that'd be different. 
  But now...

Ah, rats.
