Here's what I gave them:

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
" You really aught to leave etoy.com
" alone. Face it - they have more right to
" the name than you do - having been using
" it for a full 2 years before you
" existed.
" 
" Your having a court take it away from
" them is nothing short of a perversion of
" DNS.
" 
" I intend to tell everyone I know that
" you are a poor internet citizen, and
" should not be a vendor they should use.
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Dunno yet-- I went through to
	http://eureka.ca.gov/ and haven't had any luck -- and I haven't yet
found an article on this that mentions either the court or judge by
name. :-(

Anyway,
