This is Sangai, I'm writing this message from friends account as my account was banned today. Heres to Captain:
I'm speachless to be honest, I'm not sure why you are ignoring me, I know you are getting all my private messages, and i am sure your wife relied my message to you. As I am sure that other board members asked you about the issue as well. I love this forum board, and as I said I will not do anything against your will - I just need to know what your will is...
I did try not to bring this to public forums, I know my message to you has been posted on moderator's only section of the board through one of the mods per my request. However I don't see any other means of getting any kind of response from you.
I must say being ignored is kind of new feeling for me. I supported this board since the day I joined, donated to keep it up, and now waiting for your reply for over 2 months just to hear what can I do to make things right. Please respond, let me know what kind of resolution you are looking for.
Many people asked me about my mod, why it disappeared from the board over last 2 months, many asked me to do the mod for them in a meantime. I didnt explain what the deal was, and told that I need to hold my service until I resolve few things first. They coming back and keep asking about it, and I feel I owe them explanation. So here it is.
Over 2 months ago, Captain was contacted by Muth's System attorney - Mr. Thomas Alberti, by phone and email, bringing to his attention that my mirror mod may be in violation of one or more patents held by Muth Systems. He forwarded me part of the email he received containing portfolio of patents held all in regards to mirror mod. Also he suspended my listed auctions on the website and removed my thread from the board until things get worked out. I informed Captain, that I'll do anything to resolve the issue promptly, and that he has nothing to worry about.
That was first and last time I've heard from Captain, Since then me and my attorney managed to contact Mr. Alberti, who denied threating Captain or anyone with a lawsuit in regards to my mod, also admitted he has no way of verifying if in fact my product was in violation of their patents since he only saw the pictures of finished product and not whats "inside". Also he stated he only contacted Captain to get in touch with me, so we can resolve the issue. We've talked about their patents, and things that differentiate our products and came to the conclusion that their patented engineering and my mods design are not even close, which proved there was no patent infringement.
At that time I sent another PM to Captain asking on what else I can do. I figured he'd like to receive legal letter from Muth Systems retracting legal threats. Another PM to Captain asking to forward me full copy of the letter containing threats he received from Muth Systems. No response. I cant make Mr. Alberti retract something in legal letter when he said he never did.
Since there was no response from Captain two weeks after I sent him last PM and a week after I called the number listed on h.org registration record and left him a message, I reposted auction for my mod along other auctions I had going.
Today I have found my auctions account suspended and all my auctions taken down, and my forum account banned.
Its your board man, and I told you I wont do anything against you. Just please, stop ignoring me and tell me what the deal is.
