Fred, there is a posting at this address: http://cordoba.ns.itd.umich.edu/htm/2thtm.htm
next to your name entitled "PSE sucks... Watch out!" Is this your writing? If
so, we'd like to respond to your writing. Thanks, Dan Hawk PSE Marketing Coordinator
Dan -- I thought that e-mail address looked familiar. It was a guy who sent me a message
on March 26, and he wasn't too fond of Buck Stop. I don't know what the deal is regarding
PSE, or if he's a nut or what, but I copied the message that he sent me, and here it is.
There's more of an extension on the e-mail address you sent to me, but the first part is
all the same. Seems like the same guy maybe???? My response to him is also below.
Fred:
I would like to set the record straight.
I don’t understand why a PSE representative such as Dan Hawk is telling YOU that I am slamming YOU OR YOUR SHOW. I enjoy your show AND your web site. I simply have your web site linked (where I have several other favorite web sites linked also) in an adjacent column on my "outdoor oriented" web site. This page does include my personal opinion regarding my experience with my PSE exploding and NOT receiving any customer satisfaction. In NO WAY do I slam you, OR your site, NOR do I infer in ANY WAY that you agree with me. You are simply an interesting link posted on my site.
Interestingly enough, Dan Hawk did know who I was, well before he sent this e-mail to you. He had previously sent the University of Michigan a flaming e-mail trying to shut down my web site. I know you’ve seen this first hand, that is, just how far some companies (ie Buck Stop) will go to stop the truth. Why he chose YOU to send his ridiculous comments too, are beyond me. Here is the link to the e-mail passed between us prior to him sending you any inquires. (http://cordoba.ns.itd.umich.edu/htm/dhawk.htm).
In summary, my opinion and experience of PSE and their products has nothing to do with you whatsoever. You simply happen to be a GREAT link on my web page.
Again, I enjoy your program, always have. Keep up the good work.

DHawk...I'm holding up my hand in the L position.
