Email from Denkmeier

To All,

I just got an email from Russ at Denkmeier threatening to sue me. I
will gladly forward this email to anyone who is interested.

What I really find interesting is that for all the talk about
the 'S' manufacturer threatening suit on Jim Gutmans binoviewer
group, It is the "D" manufacturer who is the one actually doing it.

By the way. The email from Russ is "R" rated. Although it looks like
he needs some help with his spelling.

After spending much time during several calls on the telephone with Russ, both pre- and post-sale, I have to say that I have rarely found anyone as eager, friendly and helpful as Russ. I agree with Nils. Russ has a remarkable reputation. Being the only person on bad terms with such a person is not something to boast about. Furthermore, the airing of such a grievance in public in this manner seems to be serving an unstated agenda.

Regards,
Darren

Russ and his company are good, honest people who have made a lot of contributions to our hobby.

Nils, I am in complete agreement. Over several months of evaluating a Denkmeier product last year I gave Russ much unsolicited "constructive criticism," not all of which was deserved, and we had many exchanges via email and phone. He was extraordinarily patient and went out of his way to try to satisfy my requirements. Never once was he abrupt or antagonistic toward me.

I must assume that he is threatening you because of remarks made by you,concerning him or his products, on this or other forums?
