When this all finishes, I hope not only to air out the dirty laundry but also to put a special shine and brightness on those that helped along the way.

You have zero apologies needed to me Far L or any of us smaller companies that stood up and helped with the fight as far as I am concerned. You went above and beyond what should be expected of any one company for this industry. In no way does it diminish our contributions at all.
Just like you, we all did it for the industry. Though it is a shame that so many did nothing at all. As Ai3rk said about an industry coming together to fight something, I wish for your purse strings that it was indeed true. However I am sure that the future as you put it will show how little some helped and even worse who claimed they did to get some exposure then never did in reality.
I also figure you may want to give a special little thank you to Fight This Patent (another user here) who did collect and organize a great deal of information and time to say the least.
I still just wish I was able to contribute more, and since this is still ongoing Far L if you contact me I would love to give a little more even though it would not be much due to my current bills. If you can not use it now, I am sure you all will take on something else for the industry in the near future. You forever will be one of my favorite programs, people, and companies ever.
