I sure would like to see a count of the number of his former
"Advertisers" that he has filed suit against. The list has to be
getting close to a record for any publication. Hell, he might even
have another world record to list on his BIO. Add in the ex-employees,
ex-lawyers, RAH participants and the list grows to be very impressive
in a sick sort of way. That would be a great list to post for the
potiential advertisers to see wouldn't it?

brevity, I've shortened down the Plaintiff name to the first on the list.

These are just the cases I've found on the Polk County web page, plus the Hitlaw
case (which Frank posted about a while back) and, of course, the RAH-15 case.
Out of the fifteen, he's won one by default and achieved an out-of-court
settlement in four. In one of the out-of-court settlements (Flightworks) he
claimed that the settlement didn't even cover his court costs.
