Dear ilya,
I don't want to turn this into WW III, but I respectfully disagree with you that I'm reading the webpage incorrectly. Now that I know that F. Yardi had no knowledge of the webpage http://www.mindspring.com/~lotek/tubi.htm , and that it was constructed by an anonymous third party, I know exactly how to interpret it. I am a practicing professional in the field of intellectual property, and after talking to Yarde today, it is obvious that the webpage was constructed by someone expecting to benefit from an implied association of his own personnal impressions and the name of a recognized representative (F. Yarde) of the company (Tubi). If that were not the case, the author would have not have remained anonymous. Note that no representations are credited by or assumed by a named third party.
The are several laws governing the purposeful public association of private individuals with unrelated events or statements that, if demonstrated to cause harm to those named, are actionable in court. What is going on here is at the least unprofessional and at the most a violation of Yardi's rights not to be slandered, which he could pursue, if he wished, but he probably won't, because it's probably one of his dealers.
Let's talk common sense: whoever this anonymous person is, the proper thing would have been to take credit for his own words by providing either his name, his initials, or by signing off as "Anonymous", and before referring the reader to Yardi at Tubi. Proper representation is just the right thing to do. This might be the freewheeling Internet, but one still has to be careful about unapproved representations made in behalf of others.
BTW, you seemed pretty excited about the Tubi exhaust in your various postings on this site. Did you order one from Tino also?
