   2.) Months from now, when everything's said and done, I *predict*
       the end result will be:

  This is an ANONYMOUS survey; I'm just curious as to what people *want*
  to happen vs. what they realistically *expect* will happen in this
  EDA legal fight-du-jour.  I'll run the responses in the next ESNUG.
