Dan, dan-dan dan, DAN!
Does this sound familiar? and I quote:
"Wanted to alert you to the fact that a Jeffery Forth has a
page affiliated
with the UofM and is using your logo in conjunction with his page. He is
claiming to be affiliated with the UofM. Is this true. Our
attornies are in
need of this information.
Have you seen this? You may want to take a look.

Its signed by a DHawk from PSE Archery. Is it possible that the D in DHawk
stands for Don? or Doug? or....Daa? This DHawk logged in via a remote
connection to the corporate PSE.com net.
Another PSE GUT SHOT.
I guess enough said about item #1.
Referring to item #2.
You obviously were not there! I, along with several others were. After
some period of time, he calmed down and apologized to (me) us, for going
"berserk". Apology accepted and hands shaken (not stirred).
I guess enough said about item #2.
I'm glad your "amused" and enjoying my factual web site. By the volume of
e-mail I have received from people around the country, I find that MANY
OTHER PEOPLE are enjoying it too. And best yet, they will be able to enjoy
it for years to come!!
Best quote so far, was from your home town of Tuscon (in brief) "its been a
local joke around here for years, PSE stands for Pull Shoot Explode". My
thanks for that witty acronym, I think I'll use it.
I would have answered you sooner, but bow opener was Oct.1 here in Michigan.
To date, I've BLASTED 2 deer with my new (super sweet) Mathews MQ1. Oh,
speaking of Mathews, rumor has it that your engineers have openly
admitted
to stealing the Mathews designs on two of his bows. I also heard that Matt
Mathews called Pete (the used car salesman) Shepley and ask if he wanted to
give PSE to him now....or later in court.
Regards,
Jeff-
WELL...I guess its not a rumor any more!
Seems Pull Shoot Explode
has posted
an "open letter" to help stem the tide of Dealer bail-outs! BUSTED!!
"It will be interesting to see the outcome of the lawsuit - when I first saw PSE's "new" bow, one glance and I said it was a Matthews with a PSE sticker. Obviously, Matthews agrees"-Rob Neilson
PSE's OPEN LETTER [YOU ARE LEAVING THIS SERVER] (notice they are NO LONGER posting it!!!) ... because...
RUMOR has it that....PSE (on hands and knees) is PAYING BIG TIME TO MATHEWS!!!! And will for years to come....
BUY select PSE bows and you
get a (cheap??) imitation of a REAL MATHEWS! for about the same
money....
....I can already see their future stickers, "Made in CHINA"
