Do you have legal advice on that? I would have expected the reasonableness of the evidence to be judged on whether it has any impact on the market place, which private emails certainly don't. I wouldn't think mails on this list would either, for that matter. In particular, I'd suspect "not inflaming the situation further" would be evidence that we're not interested in rigorously protecting our trademark. Cheers, aj
