@Gary

Of course you're entitled to your opinion, but making statements
suggesting embargoed at import without supportable facts is
irresponsible.

Or are you suggesting that Amazon are breaking the law?

Had you asked simply for it to be moved off the list I'd have acceded
and politely, in future please don't make implied threats such as
members email addresses are going to be captured and the copyright
swat teams are likely to be kicking in their front doors, it's
unbecoming.

I'll set up an off list email address tomorrow and allow people that
want to pursue this to do so there.

Regards

Tony
