T-Bone writes “The guy who ported weblogs.com from Frontier to LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) just got a love letter… from his client, Dave Winer’s, lawyer.

The letter claims Winer gave Rogers Cadenhead a $5,000 deposit in October 2005. The job, according to Winer’s guy: Revisions and maintenance of feeds.scripting.com. Cadenhead describes the job as another LAMP port; this time on Share Your OPML, Winer’s RSS subscription site.

From there, things get ugly. On one side, we have a seemingly nice guy swelling with emotion. On the other, a scrapper with a lawyer.

Who do you think has the upper hand? Email Battles shares its reasoning.”
