When you start saying things like "..what right does IBM have.." without concrete evidence of an actual payout, your speculation is simply unfounded gossip. And the fact that someone's guess reinforces your 'suspicion' about IBM is simply ridiculous and possibly libelous.
I think this email is below the professional standard that midrange-L has set.
