Dear Sirs, The enclosed article suggests that Mr Gertler, wgert@ritchie.loop.com, has misrepresented himself as "an administrator at supernews" in order to get a tidepool user's account closed on false & malicious grounds. I would appreciate if you could verify: (1) what exactlty Mr Gertler said to tidepool.com, and (2) whether he has any authority to speak for supernews.com [they may wish either to deny he is an employee or to take other action if he is] I hope you will then consider what action, if any, you wish to take regarding Mr Gertler -- which is of course your decision and should be fair in terms of your contract with Mr Gertler. Copying any note of your and supernews' public position to the newsgroup would be helpful. Regards, DAVE BIRD.
