Here's IBM's March 9 letter to SCO [PDF], asking them to give them a list of all the potential witness names they wish IBM to provide contact information for. Of course, that was then. Now it is 3,000. Thanks to moonbroth for transcribing it. The letter is followed by SCO's letter of reply [PDF], with their list of names. These are just two of the exhibits attached to IBM's Declaration of Amy Sorenson, in support of their Memorandum in Opposition to Renewed Motion to Compel Discovery [PDF], and they were filed as paper exhibits. Our thanks to Frank Sorenson for scanning them for us. I hope some of you are in a mood to do some transcribing, because we have more now. The letters are about the thousand names that Judge Wells had told IBM to hand over contact information for in her order back in March. SCO had asked for all 7,200 names, and Wells ordered 1,000, with a review afterward if she thought more were needed. SCO's list in reply is rather careless, though. If you only get 1,000, why would you ask for contact information on people you must know how to contact already, like Bill Sandve? Very odd. Maybe because you already know you'll just be asking for more anyway? SCO is like the grave. It never gets enough and stops. And indeed, it pressed for more and while they didn't get all 7,200 they asked for (is someone not subtracting 1,000?), the list was increased to 3,000 in the most recent order. This text is also more evidence of my sincerity in trying to catch up and complete our text collection. If those wacky guys in Lindon would calm down a minute and let us get up-to-date on their prior activities before they come up with more headline-making reasons to sue somebody, I'd really appreciate it. Just a short time out, of course. It couldn't be more fascinating, really.

Re: The SCO Group v. IBM
Dear Peter:
In response to your request for the thousand names for which SCO seeks complete contact information as required by the interrogatories, SCO would like such information for people in the following categories:
1. All persons listed on Exhibit E to IBM's Answers to Interrogatories.
2. All persons identified on the attached document.
As further review necessitates, I will provide you with additional names until we reach 1000. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Very truly yours,
