Chatty needs to take lessons from these guys, much more ominous in tone.

Many postings on this site contain outrageous and false allegations against management generally and against particular individuals. Thermo Tech(tm) and its management support this forum as an arena for frank and true discussions. However, a number of individuals have abused and continue to abuse this forum to publish untrue statements and defamatory innuendo. This posting is to serve notice to all that the patience of Thermo Tech(tm) and its management with these scurrilous postings is at an end. Thermo Tech(tm) has already commenced legal proceedings in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against certain named individuals. Thermo Tech(tm) has also delivered a formal "cease and desist" demand to individuals who have been identified to date. All future postings may be reviewed for their honesty. Any defamatory remarks posted by any person will be the subject of swift and vigorous action by our solicitors. If required, we will seek appropriate relief from the courts of any jurisdiction to have internet service providers disclose the identities of posters so that appropriate action may be taken in that jurisdiction. We encourage all posters to frankly express their views on all matters they feel concern Thermo Tech(tm) and its shareholders. So long as posters are able to contain their remarks to what is true, Thermo Tech(tm) will have no cause to intervene. If any reader is concerned by any information posted at this site, we invite you to contact us directly so that we may respond to your concerns with true facts. If any person has information of defamatory statements being made by any individuals orally, in writing or on the internet, please contact us so that we may speedily deal with those people, who for whatever reason, believe that they may lie about Thermo Tech(tm) with impunity. That time has come to an end. Dan Cumming, Director
