I wouldn't give him the time of day. I deal with attorneys all the time.

Send him a bill, charge him what he charges his clients. Attorneys
understand that language.

I got a same email/phone call - probably because about 4 years ago I was
asking about this and for recommendations about arrays that the community
used.

Possibly against my better judgment - I responded - probably because after
2 emails and a phone call, it might be better to respond than not. - My
response was basically "As soon as anyone could afford a RAID array"

It is kind of true, I somehow feel a little... weird... having responded to
an IP lawyer - is that a sad state of affairs or what?
