SBC Communications claims they own Patent on Internal links and
Includes, threatens to sue the little guys first, then move to
the big guys. 

We received a 40 page package from SBC Intellectual Property
today informing us that our web site  which has links on the left
side that go to other web pages within the site  but does not
lose the left side navigation links  was in violation of their
Structured Document Browser Patent.
