Brian,

I sincerely apologize to you if you had nothing to do with it. I also apologize to your wife for calling so late but I was being unfairly attacked and I made a poor choice to call you.

On the other hand, I have been in contact with many people who have said that if you did not circulate the email you certainly instigating the situation. Encouraging others to put the info on the 54 board etc.

I cannot confirm anything at this point. My main concern is that the truth available so those that bid on my auctions or by cards from me can make an informed desicion.

Once again, its unfortunate this thing happen but in a way I am glad that this dirty laundry has been aired and so people can make up their own minds, rather than a few people trying to influence people in a private way.

What is not cool and not ok was the fact that someone sent out a mass email which they assumed my identity in an attempt to defame or hurt my business.

I will get to the bottom of the whole thing. And you are correct I have contacted my friend with the FBI to check IP addresses etc.
