Dear SatelliteGuys.US Users,
It has come to my attention that another site (DBSTalk.COM) has recently started telling some of it’s users that this web site is so good because it is that Dish Network financially supports this board.
That statement is 100% False.
I have also been accused of doing “illegal” things at DBSTalk since leaving that site. Again this is 100% false.
Then there has been someone posting at DBSTalk as a user named “Sam Spade” which has been embarrassing to me as well as DBSTalk, now that I know more I suspect that Sam Spade was really a DBSTalk staff member trying to get people to turn on my and this site. And if that is true that is very sad. To make matters worse they have accused me of being that user.
It’s really sad there have been lots of accusations from DBSTalk with no proof of anything. I have proof on my side, my financial records are available to anyone who wants to come to Connecticut and see them, my whereabouts at the time of postings from “Sam Spade” are also logged. And I also have copies of the DBSTalk Database which shows what really went on behind the scenes.
It is because of all of this that I am now seeking legal council for a lawsuit for libel against DBSTalk and its staff and advertisers. This is not something I want to do but now I feel I have no further choice in the matter. I must defend myself from these comments and accusations and intent to take all legal remedies to protect myself and this site, which I have worked so hard to build up.
For the record SatelliteGuys.US is in no way endorsed and or supported by ANY satellite Company.
All costs of the board have been paid out of my pocket and from the kind donations from some of our users. So far the board has operated at a negative especially when you factor in that I went to Baltimore on my own dime, and paid for my admission to the show, airfare and hotel out of my pocket so that I could bring my sites members the first looks of new Dish Network products.
As you know we have started a new store SatelliteGuysStore.COM at this time we have NOT earned one cent profit. As I mentioned when we opened this store all money raised would be used to help pay expenses to keep this site alive, any extra money left over will be used buy satellite equipment to give away to our members for contests. In fact last weeks prize giveaways from our Tech Chat… Chat were paid for out of pocket.
I take great pride in working as hard as I do to bring you the best satellite news anywhere, there are days I work 16 hours or more making this site the best it can be. I am proud to dig up stories and news items to bring to you. Many of you folks might think that my phone rings and Dish Network is at the end of the line with news for me to post, nothing could be further from the truth. Most of my news comes from various anonymous sources both inside and outside the satellite companies, in fact most information lately comes from people like parts suppliers or people who work for one TV network or another. I take their info and then investigate it until the pieces fit well enough to post a news story. I am proud to say I work to bring you the news I do, nothing is handed to me.
Some times it look as though I favor Dish Network over DirecTV or VOOM, this is true as I am a Dish Network customer and do not subscribe to another satellite service. I am sure if I were a DirecTV customer I would be digging just as hard for DirecTV news. And as you have seen I do have contacts to bring you DirecTV and VOOM news first.
I have said it before and I will say it again, I love Satellite TV Technology and I love being able to share what I know with you our members. I take great pride in what I do to make SatelliteGuys.US one of the best Internet forums anywhere. Again I do this because I love it! This is a hobby to me, if I got paid to do this it would be a job and therefore it would not be fun for me to do.
Everything done here at SatelliteGuys.US is done for you our members; this is why we listen to all your questions, comments and suggestions. I really did not want to make any of this public, but did so as I felt I needed to make clear the reputation of not only myself but also my site, which I am very proud of.
Thank you for your support of SatelliteGuys.US!
Regards,
Scott
