Actually, Lee is a software engineer with over 25 years of experience. At one
point in his career he worked for almost 9 years at Novell, during its heyday,
writing software for web servers and other web services. He has contributed
code to the Netscape/Sun/Oracle web server, the Apache web server, the Tomcat
servlet engine, and the HTML Tidy project. He was also invited by the IDPF to
participate as an invited expert in the development of the original ePub
container format.

A few years after graduating law school, and being admitted to the state bars
of California and Idaho, Lee abandoned the practice of law when he realized
that lawyers focused almost exclusively on winning, and almost never on
getting to the truth; a young, idealistic lawyer has no place in this system.
Lee is no longer licensed to practice law in any jurisdiction (bar
associations take a dim view of people who refuse to pay their licensing
fees).

However, Lee's legal training has enabled him to carefully analyze complex
systems, and to recognize and discard irrelevancies, sophistries and
fallacies. It enables him to recognize false assertions about legal issues
such as contract and copyright law. It also gave him a skin as thick as a
rhinoceros, making him virtually immune to ad hominem arguments (sorry
Marcello).

Hopefully, this sets the record straight.
