   Nice - well, I have absolutely no intention of buying any of that trash.    
     I think it's libelous, and if Shat really wanted to nail them on at    
   least some of it, he probably could.  Nimoy is the only one with any    
   real class.  I don't remember his ever complaining, and if there were    
   any conflicts, I really doubt he'd try to sell them.  Has he?   
      
   Allow me a biblical reference here - "Let he who is without sin throw    
   the first stone."
