[E-trademarks] [EXT] Re: Not everyone is unhappy with the new TESS

[Alex Butterman]

Agreed. I have seen several articles from this publication over the years refer specifically to issues we discuss and complain about on this List. In fact, I recall this publication reporting several times on the "where you sleep at night" address issue and the publication repeated that exact language, making it even more well-known. 

You are welcome, everyone.

Thank you.

Of the people quoted in the article, six are not PTO officials.  At least four of those six are participants in Carl's e-mail lists.  I doubt that's mere coincidence.

Not only do Carl's e-mail lists serve practitioners directly, they also (it seems) serve journalists by aggregating the zeitgeist of the practitioner community and aid in identifying people who might be interviewed and quoted.

Thanks, Carl, for providing these e-mail lists.
