This is an interesting turn of events. If this person wants me off 
the list he simply has to filter me out, as I've done with him. As an 
awesomely, fantastically important and all-knowing engineer he should 
understand how to use the filter in his reader. As I've said before 
several times, I always use the same email address. Any IBUZ 
cheerleader, particularly anyone who makes a living installing the 
system, can make me disappear with a few minutes work. Anyone annoyed 
by differing opinions can do it with no physical harm to either of us.

For his own health I'd suggest he do that.

Dana quoted part of the diatribe in which he suggested legal action 
be taken because I've expressed opinions contrary to his. I believe 
the court would require proof of damages. I wonder how many stations 
have told the company they didn't purchase the system because of 
something Rich Wood said on the Internet. If I'm to believe the puff 
releases, the revolution is growing by leaps and bounds and receivers 
are flying off the shelves, so I clearly have absolutely no effect on 
their business. Even Judge Judy will tell them about proving damages 
and that expressing opinions is protected, especially when those 
opinions result from extensive retail research and the purchase of 
five IBUZ receivers to do it. I'm looking at it from the marketplace 
perspective and by driving all over creation to determine how it's working.

In the case of stations requesting a recommendation I don't tell them 
not to do it. I tell them to hold off until we know what the power 
increase will do. Too many stations jumped in knowing, according to 
this person, that more power was in the offing. They tell me they 
installed it believing 1% was the permanent limit. Now they have to 
spend more money to correct that impression and redo what they've 
just done. Ultimately, they do whatever the Hell they want.
