Hi Wolfgang, >> Hey, we live in a democracy - if you don't like what I'm saying, just >> say so (and if you do, too!!!!).
Indeed we do, so here's my take on it. When your initial email came through, I though 'oh bloody hell, the shit is really going to hit the fan now !'. Why ? Because in a public forum you made quite serious accusations against other parties. Now, whether or not your accusations are true, a public forum is not the place to be making them. I believe you can be held responsible for what you write (say) in an email. (I think Demon got shafted some time back simply because they allowed a usenet posting to remain on their servers after being informed that it was incorrect etc.) So, have you tried to communicate with D&D to find out if what you say is true, or whether they have some other arrangments etc ? If you have asked and not received any replies then there may well be a problem and if so, it should be sorted out between the 'interested' parties and not aired in public. If there does turn out to be a good reason, they you may well end up with egg on your face. I believe you have put yourself is a pretty awkward situation. >> Heck, if you think D&D are right, say so, and also if you think they >> are wrong. If D&D are not paying Tony then they must have a reason for not paying Tony. This brings questions to mind, such as - do they have a separate agreemaent with Tony ? - have they inherited some other agreement with Tony indirectly through any previous dealing between the Grafs and Tony ? - are they possibly saving up a whole pile of payments to Tony and submitting them infrequently rather than EUR10 here and there ? - etc. On the other hand, until all the facts are known, it is best not to make judgement - especially in public. Personally, I think you should have found out, or tried to find out why no payments are/were being made and dealt with the matter through private means. In the event of no success, turned the matter over to Tony - it is his money after all, but putting the details on a public forum was wrong.
