I thought it was very clear.

1. Lawsuit #1 ended when the Judge ruled the Blackwell rules are not enforceable.

3. Lawsuit #2 was filed asking the new rules to be invalid as well.

4. Case is pending.

> Lil, what did we tell you about posting while medicated?

I think BigJerr modified the post to clean up a trashed-out link, too. :)

And yeah, I was being catty. But in a playful way.
