Mr Sims,

I read the Froomkin/Lemley draft article, and without giving myself any 
credit for competence in this specific area of American law, I do see 
merit  for the debate here in the points that it raises and precedents that 
it presents. I did not read that it was meant as "legal advice".

As for relying on competent anti-trust lawyers in this debate, do you 
suggest that this Assembly rely on  *practicing* anti-trust lawyers who 
have clients to please?
