On April 14, 1996 Hans Popodi inadvertently posted (over my signature) to
the entire readership of BEE-L two replies intended for individuals. The
replies concerned Popodi's Varroa Treatment Device (TM) and contained the
text of his introductory product brochure.
 
He has made this mistake more than once and, henceforth, will no longer
attempt to operate his email without skilled assistance. He joins me in
apologizing for those accidental posts, which were inappropriate and even
intrusive.
 
They were NOT, however, "misleading advertising" as Allen Dick alleged in
his so-called "flame" of rebuttal.
 
The Criminal Code of Canada says it's an offense to threaten prosecution
unless you can prove there are grounds for doing so.  The Common Law says
anyone who makes defamatory statements via a public medium such as the BEE-L
Letter, and causes damage by so doing, can be sued for all his wealth and
worldly goods.
 
I'm not saying Popodi will sue Allen Dick for his dematory statements. I'm
only saying Canadian law gives them the right to.
 
As far as the VTD is concerned ... many of us believe it's better than
Apistan (and Apistan is very good indeed). Certainly it's less expensive. So
we welcome enquiries, but Popodi has no wish to SPAM readers of BEE-L.
 
Apologies for the misposts and a friendly rapsberry to Allen Dick who is, as
ever, his own worst accuser. "Res ipsa loquitur."
