Guest guest Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 I'm hoping that the owner, Sleepless in Reno, will contact to find out what the specific violation was. I feel pretty confident that the reason will be revealed as a legal technicality that is usually ignored on most of these lists until someone complains loudly enough. My guess is that the person complaining probably used legal language that got 's attention, claiming that his name was being used in a a defamatory way and that he'd hold responsible. Just my guess based on past experience. As you know, when I was sued by TM, he subpoenaed for all of my account records. This subpoena became invalid (and would have been illegal if pursued) when the suit was dismissed. In the actual lawsuit, conversations were mainly cited in the request for a judgement against me even when I was not a participant in the conversations. So, IMO, it's apparent that the group was being targeted then and was one of the original reasons for the lawsuit against me. I believe that TM is very familiar (see examples below) with using the legal system to his advantage and has no qualms in doing so. When he sued me, he used the system in a way that made it almost impossible for me to respond in time to defend myself. The fact that I was very sick at the time, and that the suit was filed in a town several hours away, made it all that much more difficult for me and more advantageous for him. Remember, TM has publicly threatened to sue Medco, the administrator of approx. 60 million people's prescription med coverage (he also claimed that the group was responsible for Medco refusing coverage of Benicar, a completely ridiculous claim, IMO), so taking on any entity is probably not a problem, IMO. (Perhaps that potentially libelous claim should be brought to the attention of ?) A large number of people have made me aware of Public records that show that he has been involved in numerous lawsuits in his previous business (YARC) prior to declaring bankruptcy. If memory serves (you can check links below), his company was sued successfully by a former employee for lack of monetary compensation. The records also show, if I'm reading them correctly, that he/Yarc also sued a man in Denmark for libel. Initially, it appears he won that case (my guess is he won by default and distance), but he/Yarc was counter-sued and the judgement against him was even larger than the initial one, and it was ruled that Yarc could not carry out business in Denmark until the terms of the judgement were satisfied. Also, according to public records, he/Yarc was involved in litigation compelling Yarc to desist using the names of companies like Epson, in websites he had set up that were affiliated with his business. Here are links to some of the public records that are on the internet. I haven't posted these in the past, but in light of recent events, I think they may be of interest to people. http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/843650/0000843650-00-000001.txt http://tinyurl.com/4js4s http://www.pinksheets.com/quote/print_filings.jsp?url=%2Fredirect.asp%3Ffilename\ %3D0000950148%252D00%252D000945%252Etxt%26filepath%3D%255C2000%255C05%255C10%255\ C08%255C & symbol=YARCQ penny --- In , " " <mommysisland@a...> wrote: > > Hi all, > > Well, I am stunned and aggravated too, mostly for the loss of all > those posts, (not that the search function here is terribly user > friendly). > > I do have the last 30 days of " Digests " still in my mailbox.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 , the files are not capable of storing large amounts of information. That's why the links are better, if you could somehow post them on another site. If not, it would probably be best to just post the digests as new messages, or to hold on to them until another, safer home is located. I don't personally want to administer this group, it's just a temporary place until we know where we're going. But do hang onto your digests until we're sure. penny > > Hi all, > > Well, I am stunned and aggravated too, mostly for the loss of all > those posts, (not that the search function here is terribly user > friendly). > > I do have the last 30 days of " Digests " still in my mailbox.
