This was sent to me from one of my business attorneys.......some time ago.....not sure of the origin....
NOTICE TO SCUMBEEZLES
(you know who you are... you scream "Foul!" when the truth comes out)
PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace.
NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!"
Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures.
You are prohibited from posting or transmitting any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, or profane materials or any material that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any law. You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual. We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials.
And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!).
You are the only one that can make your dreams come true....and the only one that can stop them...A.M. Dietrich
I'm sorry to bring this up, but for the safety and security of Spec and this forum, I think we should just stop this nonsense. This place is moderated, lightly or not, and any stupid acts on any of our parts will end up on the admin's back.
To Chris and Matt, I believe all that needs to be said has been said...

I suffer from the Dunning–Kruger effect... daily.
I dont think this will end up on the Admins back at all
in fact i think that Spec is having a good ol chuckle at these two ...
well i certainly am,
the only thing this is doing to this forum is educating all its members who to buy from and who not ...
i can imagine that the swinger of the cluebyfour may be concerned if it was Dave or Rob or Bridge ( for example ) pulling this kinda shit
but fortunately we are blessed here with good, honest down to earth people that just happen to provide a service
so lets just sit back and learn
all the best ... Karl
For a guy who is in the middle of wisconsin or whatever, did you guys ever wonder how he gets so much California grade stuff? He's a middleman for someone who does not want to be directly involved in sale.
I'm a little mad at him too, on the last set of white light optics I purchased from him, the coatings dissolved when cleaned in alcohol. That means they were either made in the 70s, which is unlikely, given the part number, or practice coating prototypes never supposed to leave the factory. My guess is the later. I have witnesses to my unwrapping the optics, giving them a initial clean, and the films just floating off.

I should have rented the space under my name for advertising.
When I still could have...
you better not have done that to those white lights I sent you a year or so ago. I warned you they were Soft Coat White Light Lambdas. NEVER ALLOWED TO BE CLEANED!

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt & selling it in a garage sale.
Odd, I did not know that optics could have a soft coating. What is the difference in how the coating is applied?
Also, I have an idea about how he gets his stuff. I know he bought a lot from Boston Laser but before that, not too much of his stuff was "California Grade" persay. I would guess that he has a person who sends him stuff to resell, but then again, I would guess that he is just buying auction lots from various sources and having them shipped to him.
