I have stipulated, upon more than one occasion, my desire not to infringe upon the copyrights of anyone and my intention to cancel my post: elrond-0906971705360001@cgowave-7-50.cgocable.net -upon receipt of proper applicable legally recognised communication from your clients office. XENU too, requires no less. I still wish you to clarify, both to myself, XENU, and my ISP why, in unauthenticated email, supposedly from your office the following misstatement was included: > We are currently involved in litigation over the same and similar materials in several >lawsuits. Preliminary injunctions based on copyright infringement and trade secret >misappropriation are in place in three of those suits in the United States District Court in San >Jose, California. And a United States District Court in the state of Virginia has granted >judgment in favour of my client, related to copyright infringement of some of these works. The inclusion of the above is one of several indicators this unauthenticated communique may indeed *not* be from your or even possibly from your office. XENU advises this and I concur. I and XENU, hardly think that real lawyer for RTC would not fail to remove from the message above the claim of the existence of injunctions based on Trade Secrets. Any lawyer involved in these cases knows that RTC has withdrawn or moved to withdraw such Trade Secret Claims in the litigations mentioned, as does any regular reader such as myself, and XENU, of alt.religion.scientology. A real lawyer for RTC would know all this, that is why I and XENU, are leaning towards thinking this may be someone else using your account to do stupid legal tricks.(XENU thinks possibly some junior trying to arrange for you, Ms. Kobrin, to be interned in the Rehabilitation Project Force of the Co$.) Your immediate attention in this matter would be appreciated as it may save you, Ms. Kobrin considerable embarrassment with your employer or further abuse of your Netcom account, or a sudden unhappy change of wardrobe to a uniform gray rag, whichever. If the original unauthenticated email does indeed originate from your office and/or yourself I and XENU, would urge you to communicate with myself, XENU and my ISP in a proper legally recognised manner. As a Citizen of Canada, where Church of Scientology has recently had their criminal conviction of the entire organisation here (and assessed fine) *upheld* by the Ontario Court of Appeal, I have to believe that no one who really represents the RTC, which is part of the Co$ empire, would send such a rant/request via unauthenticated email, instead of utilising next day courier post. This might be considered barratous and still another fine could be imposed by the Crown upon the woe-be-gotten Church of Scientology. The Co$ has my full name and address in their OSA intelligence files so communicating to me and XENU via the proper legal channel of the Post Office would be a simple feat to accomplish. Rev. Buttnor of the Toronto Org of the Church of Scientology, whom I visit now on a semi-regular basis, may be of some help. In the alternative, a simple Net Search of Canada 411 produces my singular name and pertinent postal data.(XENU is unlisted.) Any idiot can accomplish this simple task. Even one such as I, who can barely master a Mac CPU, let alone someone who is supposed to be a top-flight, tho' internationally unsuccessful, litigation lawyer for the RTC/CO$. On the other hand I and XENU, are led to believe Ms. Kobrin that you are infamous, world wide, for hasty and stupid acts upon occasion, such as attempting to cancel an entire news group and threatening to sue all the inhabitants of planet earth who access alt.religion.scientology . I and XENU, will concede tho' you may have let some junior over achiever in your office have access to your account. But I and Xenu are not sure. Not wishing to see you, Ms. Kobrin, getting into any trouble with either the Crown or your employers, I and XENU, wish to politely remind you that you should not let another post from your account, no matter how well intentioned such lending might be. And, I might add, again at XENUs insistence, that unauthenticated email postings of this flawed nature sent into the (to you) foreign jurisdiction of Canada not only do not constitute proper legal notice of any kind but may lead to Crown initiated litigation for yourself and your clients the CO$ (for violations of the electronic communication laws for all I know), in light of the recent court rulings here, should they be proven to originate with you or your client. Of course, should you, Ms. Kobrin, properly communicate, legally, your clients notice and incontrovertible proof of undisputed copyrights, if any, in this matter, I would consider cancelling the post in question as useless as said gesture would be. I am, after all, a law abiding Canadian Citizen with an impeccable family history of both service to my country and in law and security enforcement as well. Lastly, I would point out that, unauthenticated as it was, your post to my ISP did mention some element of haste for the cancellation of this message. This is a dramatic and foolish claim as the document "Not 7" is commonly available on the Internet and indeed currently sold to the public, upon request, at cost by the Swedish Parliament. However, Xenu and my legal advisors have pointed out that Scientologists such as yourself ardently believe "what is true is true for you" and you may indeed believe my cancellation of said innocent Usenet posting may possibly accomplish the impossible. Therefore it would seem prudent that you communicate with me, XENU and my ISP in the recognised legal manner, so as to satisfy this belief of yours that concealing the "Not 7" material in this manner, might actually be accomplished. I and XENU are curious tho' to understand why you would think this and why you have not properly communicated with myself or several others who also merely replied to the original posting which apparently contained the "Not 7" material. Sincerely yours, William G. Hagglund and XENU the cat.
