If you think your threats to escalate the crisis will make me "negotiate" ... please reconsider. There is absolutely no basis to negotiate with you on. I will seek out a resolution of the relevant issues with the owners of this board (where you have been waging your illicit campaign) but I will not negotiate with you to get you to cease doing the things you shouldn't be doing in the first place.

Just as I would not negotiate with a house burgler to get him to stop ripping off my physical possessions nor will I negotiate with those who would misappropiate my intellectual property and free ride on the good will of my company. It will not happen.

We can get along perfectly well (i.e., we can co-exist peacefully) in the audio community if you cease using our name, our goodwill and cease misappropiating our intellectual property.

I have and would wish you well... if you ever decided to take the high road and behave as an honest businessman. If you want to be in the transformer business... well wishes and good luck... but do it as Steve Eddy has previously suggested... on your own merits and reputation NOT on ours.

happy hollidays,
