once again I thank you for your input and character reference.
I highly agree with this quote, for my protection all communication is correlated in a timely manner in a separate folder. For a forum member to delete all posts in his moderated private forum with subterfuge in mind is pointless. unless I may have been the only member allowed to register in said forum then others are aware of what transpired.Ralph is beyond reproach I think his attitude is rare and the temptation for another person (obviously there are none on this forum) to take advantage should be kept in mind before you start sharing ideas or signing NDAs.
On the other hand if I was the only member allowed to read these deleted posts, his attempt is still thwarted as I have copies in his file. A file which he requested that I delete (funny man). I was not born yesterday nor did I fall off a turnup truck!
If believing that by deleting private forum posts in order to dispose of substantiating evidence as ammunition for a slander suit or a preconceived plan to ride on anothers shirt tail of success then you have committed PPP (piss poor planning)..
I am not sure but I bet the moderator. Scott can pull those posts up in the forum delete file.
Never sign an NDA, do not bother asking someone else to sign an NDA. In my generation of being raised and learning the facts of life, a good solid hand shake is as binding as any legal paper. It is a matter of earned respect for both the shaker and the shakee. Just make sure that that this verbal hand shake is for confidential comunicaiton regarding his concept only, not yours.
My perception and back ground info has already told me that I need not concern myself of James from hearing from said accuser until working hours on Monday August 21, Eastern USA time. Now if he has half his marbles in one bag, he should pick up on this statement, and realize that his livelihood may be put at risk if he continues to harass us!
Points to remember to avoid a slander suit: Never state that so and so is a liar, crook or scammer causing malicious intent, you may become liable for a civil tort violation, and possibly lose unless you can substantiate your statement. But if you say IMO so and so is a liar, crook, etc then you have only stated an opinion and not an acussation.
