		<description>Jeff - thanks for the reminder about Blue Jeans Cable and the great story, can&#039;t wait to see how it turns out.

I needed some HDMI cables and was appalled at what their prices.  Then I remembered your posting about these guys.  I ordered from them and I got the shipment 2 days later (from Washington state to NJ, not bad!)</description>

		<description>[...] As I mentioned a few minutes ago, the CEO of Blue Jeans Cable, a former litigator, responded pretty forcefully to a cease and desist letter from Monster Cable, alleging various forms of infringement. One of the things I liked about the Blue Jeans response was its detailed requests for additional information &#8212; &#8220;If you expect to persuade me, you had better start making full, open and honest disclosures; I will find out the facts sooner or later in any event &#8230;.&#8221; (Emphasis added; hat tip Jeff Nolan at Venture Chronicles.)&#160; [...]</description>

		<description>I like his detailed requests for additional information -- &quot;If you expect to persuade me, you had better start making full, open and honest disclosures; I will find out the facts sooner or later in any event ....&quot;

When I was a general counsel, an approach that worked really well (I only used it with claimants who seemed like serious people) was more or less the following:  &lt;em&gt;Let&#039;s put an NDA in place, and I&#039;ll give your lawyer whatever s/he wants to look at that we can conveniently collect, as long as you agree to do the same. If litigation were to come to pass, we&#039;d exchange the information in discovery under a protective order in any case. So let&#039;s do it now, informally, in the hope of avoiding the expense.&lt;/em&gt;</description>
