    Well if you're going to be that easy to push over . . .

      I have undeniable proof that my intellectual property was improperly
    used in the keyboard
      you used to type your previous message. I expect you to license that
    keyboard technology
      from me for $4.22 (US) per keyboard. If you don't comply, I'll revoke
    your license to use
      that keyboard. If you need to see the proof of my claims, you'll have
    to sign an NDA and
      send me $16.50 to cover the processing fees. Thank you for you prompt
    compliance. (And
      the rest of you keyboard users out there; get your checkbooks ready;
    your notice will arrive
      in the mail soon.)
