If anything, the original 13-year old
joke, for me, reinforced AE's trademark
in a positive way. Sadly, Leydig, Voit
& Mayer, Ltd.'s letter to R.H.F. did
significant injury to their client's
trademark and reputation.

Except for credit'ing R.H.F. for a
good joke, it's not clear how R.H.F.
is providing a similar service as AE -
unless Leydig, Voit & Mayer, Ltd. are,
in fact, stating by introduction of
their letter, that AE's business
model is a joke...
