I would say that was a preemptive strike by Markle foreclosing any argument for getting part way through and then filing to change venue. Or, it could just be what you said the first time - "I am tired of hearing your crap, move it wherever and we will see you in court".
No, I no longer feel this is as important as it once was. Again, I would like to see the defendant's responses when they come. But I will withdraw my general concern or "worry" about this point. Still, a long way to go and there is a lot that can happen (or fail to happen).
Clearly my agitation has been driving down the price of the stock (if only I was that powerful).
It does look like their strategy will be one of failing to respond until forced to. That could indicate a weak hand or it could just be Williamson's style in court. Time will tell.
I may even drop a buy order today.
