Dear Herb,
I celebrate 50 years in astronomy next year, and have the 3rd largest collection of telescopes and eyepieces that exists globally, numbering more than 2,000 eyepieces and just over 240 telescopes, with the focus being on rare, antique, exotica and exceptional. My systems range from units worth only a few hundred dollars (say as example a Pentax 1986 60mm refractor) to the largest visual optical telescope in Australia, a 60 inch unit in a fully robotic observatory that performs visual and imaging work - an investment of just under US$ 800k for this single system.
Am I very very well known, as well known as anyone globally in astronomy. You have made a very very very very very big error in your assessment of myself and this matter !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why tell you this - merely to let you know that you have made a very very very powerful enemy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You may have your opinion, but I already have over 100 of the most senior astronomy personnel (in three days) that are already being lead by myself & also one of the major & most senior US based specialists in astronomy, and being one of the world's wealthiest businessmen (major household name) he is leading the charge with creating an immediate Class Action against you and your business. He has assembled a team within one of his businesses to lead this issue, as he is a lot more cross than I am.
No - it's not about the money, he is worth billions, and I am worth mny many millions - money - that's never an issue for me or for Bill - it's about the behaviour, so we do not care a damn for the cash, we want you to be made a major major major example of !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am not here to argue with you, as you are well known as being very very belidgerant, you should see what is being written about you in the internet press pages, it would make you very very upset.
You are welcome to tell me all the crap about your terms, I have heard all this before. I am not intersted in this puffery.
What you have done is blatantly illegal, as the terms were not what they are today when I signed up. You should be aware of this have have received better legal guidance.
I paid consideration for a lifetime contract, and you are in breach of this contract - full stop - no discussion.
I do not care what you say in your defence, and I am not here to negotiate with you for a better deal for an Astromart account - that ship sailed last Friday.
In short I am very very very very very very very very upset by your exceptional and extraordinary action and totally ungentlemanly behaviour - we are going to make a major example of you - one that we will publish the result of in the world's leading trade press, no - not just S&T, I will pay for full page ads to cover the result in all the global trade media, personally. As stated it's not a money thing, you hae crossed a line, one that will will rue for a long long long long time !!!!!!!!!!!
We are going to make a major global example of you, your behaviour is more than just poor, it is absolutely appalling.
In the astronomy industry people behave with a level of gentlemanliness that is appropriate, and you have smashed this code of conduct with your unbelievably poor behaviour.
You deserve to have every bit of the criticism that is being levied globally against you, and I will expend an awful lot more than a paltry US$ 12 or US$ 15, or whatever it is that you currently ask for, as you can obviously change your mind "just like that" and increase, decrease, whatever - your fee at your own personal whim.
I am going to spend hundreds and hundreds of hours and tens of thousands of dollars in chasing you down and convincing people that I know that they should not have any dealings with you - or your business.
I AM going to do you major major personal & business damage, let me absolutely guarantee you of this as fact !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I already have a major BOYCOTT underway, and this isn't merely a local issue, this is global, and will grow to a major level with a week or two.
Expect to hear more than just a bit more from this issue, we intend to make the whole world see what type of person you are.
I will NOT be renewing my Astromart membership, and have already deleted from my favourites list.
You WILL be hearing further, a lot lot lot more.
I WILL be seeing you in court !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are preparing our legals at this time and you WILL be served shortly.
