Nah, I got it, I knew you were having fun. As was I, when I shot back the
whois.gandi.net info on jamestyre.org, but perhaps I shouldn't have put my

In the circumstances, this result cannot be unfair to Mr. Lodi.
Although it is true that, as plaintiff and appellant, he loses, it
is equally true that, as defendant and respondent, he wins. It is
hard to imagine a more even handed application of justice. Truly, it
would appear that Oreste Lodi is that rare litigant who is assured of
both victory and defeat regardless of which side triumphs.
