top posting also.

And the only reason I popped into it to start with, was because I was 
contacted some 10 - 12 years ago from an American Trademarks Lawyer 
asking for permission to create and use llamaworks for a client 
expanding into the USA from South America. Written permission was needed 
because it was vocally close to mine (lamiaworks) and therefore could be 
confused even though the product was different, (llama wool processing 
va Leadlight Pannel Cartooning (drawings)).

And I thought the origonal post was asking for opinions on which of the 
three sugestions should be considered the better so I was sending what I 
thought an answer with a reason why.

And here is where I will end this topic as far as i'm concerned.
