If you do wish to continue with your accusations and attempts to impeach my character, there is only your good sense to stop you.

You have clearly misunderstood a few basic motivations of mine as evidenced by your opening paragraph. You engage me by accusing me of theft of an item which cannot be stolen. Do you expect me to react in a friendly fashion? As best I can, that is what I will do.

However, as a warning, should you continue to misrepresent my actions, I do have both ability and motivation to( among other things ) spread the information you so clearly wish to remain secret as widely as is possible. For example to China where these good designs will be devoured and applied in a very widespread fashion. As it stands, simply mentioning the ease with which the information can be attained suggests that it may already be in-progress.

More importantly, as word spreads of the performance attainable with these modern, machine wound copies, the market *WILL* grow. Fortuneately, I am not in the least dependant on what the market decides to do.

As it stands, I will leave you chance to examine your part in this and perhaps change your mind. If not, your own actions are quite clearly documented in the archives of RAT, and reminding the vacuum tube audio world how you are capable of conducting yourself would be pursued as an honored duty. That you are evidently continuing this sort of thing today is a further indictment of your character and what I am most concerned about.

I have retained legal assisitance and it is a resource I will not hesitate to employ. I do hate to warn you of what not to do, but if you don't do it, that will be enough.

So the final request to walk through this and see if we can reach some agreement on coexistance is hereby made and extended to you.
cheers,
Douglas
