Ms. Queen...I strongly believe that you "excerpted improperly."

Dr. James specifically asked for an example of something he had posted online that was not "fair use". The Bob Brinker's representative could/would not tell James what his "offense" was.

Then comes the part that you so conveniently left off. Dr. James explains what he could only "suspect" was the REAL reason that his subscription was so RUDELY canceled.

Yes RUDELY! As has been said before here, the Bob Brinker's have every right to cancel subscriptions, but it goes to show character--or lack of character since it involves SPYING on internet message boards and gleaning information that they can use for their own petty reasons.

Dr. James wrote: "Hi Honey - I asked specifically what they believed I was sharing online that they felt was not fair use and the person I talked to either would not or could not tell me what my "offense" was other than saying it had come to their attention that I was indeed sharing info about the newsletter online. I suspect it was my less than flattering habit of pointing out how what Bob said in his newsletter was sufficiently vague that he could and likely would latter spin it so it would appear he was more prescient than in truth he was. Bob - IMHO- is a master of doublespeak.

Does Bob know who you are? If so I would not be too surprised if Bob decided to de-subscribe you as well. Guilt by association. Of course, worse things can happen than becoming persona non grata in the eyes of BB."
