I suppose you’re upset that the judge declined to buy the Brooklyn Bridge from Mr. Bluestone, as well?
Yeah, sure, he was sending out the information out of the goodness of his heart. I’ll bet he didn’t make any effort to share any advisories with anyone not in a position to purchase his services.
I don’t think he’s disapproving of the judg’s decision, merely pointing out that lawyers, too, get caught in the junk fax laws (which has had several hot topics lately).
