Sure sounds like a viable case to me. Doesn't cost that much to file a lawsuit; so why haven't you done it? This would be the perfect time; in fact, probably the only time it really makes sense ....SO JUST DO IT!

Sometimes if  a cause is righteous, you have to lead the way and endless posting is wasted, so just find a lawyer or head to the law court and file the suit yourself...the clerk will help you. Ask Crocker if he will review the filing.

You've convinced me there…
