Thanks for the opening, Trey.

Here is a little input about the fine folks at Abysmal
I have been dying for the opportunity to share:

Hi Chris, 

I got your *bullshit* letter from my lawyer. How come
you didn't have your lawyer write to mine? I thought
it was "inappropriate" for me to communicate with him,
and vise-versa? Another shining example of the
bullshit and pissy little games that are becoming well
known as the Abysmal calling card. 

And here all along I thought you were different. I
thought you had a bit of morals and a bit of class.
Silly me. You are a liar.

Silversteins reputation proceeds him by a mile.
*Everyone* I talked to warned me about getting
involved with him. I was just stupid and desperate
enough (I had a kid fighting cancer and the attendant
mountain of expenses, and you two knew that) to trust
you both to do what's right. "We'll have the corporate
attorney draw up an agreement and get it to you next
week." I heard that once a month for 6 months. Boy, am
I stupid or what!??!

And don't kid yourselves by telling people you tried
to "give him an opportunity". You "gave" me *nothing*
but a true image of your character! And you *stole*
the designs for the STA's, DTA's and "ergonomic
backplates" you offer for sale from me. STOLE. And you
did it in the most despicable, cowardly way: by
getting me to trust you. I never wanted to be in the
backplate business, I made a couple a little larger
and a little smaller for a few friends, but thanks to
your bullshit and my gullibility, I am now about $1200
in the hole to having been involved with you two.
Unlike you, I am paying off the debt I owe. You want
the $500 your lawyer mentioned, you just come and get
it.

The "simplicity" of our "relationship" should have
been spelled out to me as you spelled it out to my
attorney, instead of the mountain of lies that you
"people" put forth a year ago. Instead, you chose to
lie and blow sunshine. Ya reap what ya sow boys.

Since your games and agenda are crystal clear to me
now, I have instructed my attorney to drop the ball.
It isn't worth the time, money, hassles or headache to
sue you "people", even though I have you dead to
rights for copyright infringement and for being liars
and thieves. I have much better things to do with my
time and energy that play pissy little games with the
likes of you two. 

Besides, you two are going to get what you have worked
so hard to earn: your reputation for being liars,
plagiarists, and outright thieves is spreading daily.
Your computer, besides being absolutely unnecessary to
anyone with a brain, seems to be a hulking, over
priced piece of shit. I have yet to hear anyone say a
good word about it. Not one. Either of you ever
actually dive one except on the bench?

I get around to a lot of dive sites, and I communicate
with divers worldwide (unlike you I have a reputation
for being honest), and your days in the SCUBA gear
business are numbered. The best part is that you have
designed your own demise by the way you do business
and the way you treat people. I don't have to sue you,
you are doomed to fail anyway. 

I had a gentleman (who will remain nameless for now)
in my office last week who made the mistake of buying
one of your computers, and has been dealing with the
Abysmal "Pacify and Bypass" routine for months. He is
ready to drive to Boulder and see how you do your
dance face to face (you wont do well, just take my
word for it). 

Now, scurry off like the cockroaches you are (the
light of truth is shining), and have your "Corporate
Attorney" send me another nice letter. And while your
at it, have him explain to you, like my lawyer
explained to me, that it is only slander or libel if
it is a *lie* spread with malicious intent. You two
are experts at that. This is nothing but the cold,
hard truth as you two designed it.

Like my new signature?

Best Regards,

Scott
