Re: Running scared from NAMCO

I don't think you have very much to worry about, I suspect that Namco was

Lying low for a few months is wise. I don't imagine they are on this list.

Still further, let's check ...."ANY NAMCO LAWYERS OUT THERE?" ...No
answer...No answer...No answer...See we are safe here ;-)
