Which makes me wonder. Could anything have backfired any worse? Could
anyone have committed a more strategic blunder?

I ain't saying it was a *typical* SLAPP suit. :-)

Other homebuilt companies have garnered somewhat of a history
of suing their customers...for example, see:

The guy who put up this page is not afraid of being sued. It sounds to me
like he'd fight a buzz-saw.

But he has been forced to shut his web page down several times. About two
years ago, I got email from Seawind asking that I remove the link to his
site on my "Avlinks" web page. I checked it then, and all it consisted of
at that time was a note saying he'd had to remove the site due to legal
problems. I didn't delete the link, but did a comment to the effect that
it was not an official site (the same disclaimer carried on the site
itself). I was actually a bit surprised the other night when I clicked it
and the full web page appeared.

I suspect his legal problems ended when the company went out of business
and the owner moved his operation to Canada.
