My memory is hazy but I kind of remember seeing something about publishing
a text without giving prior credit to the author. Also remember you asking
an AMSAT officer if he was talking to you as an individual or as a
representative from the organization.  Fishing for another lawsuit threat?

"Patrick collaborated creating an obscene, defamatory
Web site for a short while, then, apparently lost interest". Can you
provide us more info on this? That's a serious allegation, specially coming
from someone who signs on QRZ as an AMSAT Ambassador.

And talking about that... Please make sure you update your presentation
with information provided by the program in regards to operating and
etiquette. Next time you start calling other "units" over the air, not only
you will be the laughingstock but the organization as well.

Be well,
