We just got an email from our Regional Captain that stated they are experiencing DOS (Denial of Service) attacks sucking up all resources on the servers. Continuing to isolate the problem.

It all comes down to dollars. As I understand it - Twister is not just a past president, he is the founder of the organization. At some point, he and the now nationally chartered organization parted ways. The lawsuit is over the rights to the name and logo. Twister started the original store, which is still in operation. That gear bears the motto "riding with respect". The national organization started their own store, their gear bears the motto "standing for those that stood for us." National wants sole control over the name and logo, and Twister wants to be able to continue selling the logo based upon the designs he created.
For my purposes, I really don't give a damn either way. I don't do pins or patches - I'll leave that to the Boy Scouts. When I go on a PGR mission, it's to pay respects to the fallen hero. I'll stand a flag line, render a final salute, whisper Semper Fi as I leave, and that's good enough for me. HE knows I was there, I know I was there - a pin isn't going to do much for either of us.
Let them fight it out. I say we grant them joint custody, let them each have their own stores and let the chips fall where they may.
Don't lose sight of the target!
