To all of you who have seen the evidece Philip has supplied and who wish to help him in this matter, I am willing to be a clearing house or central repository for information on this matter. My e-mail is available by clicking on my name in the posts, all inquiries will be responded to asap.
With the permission of the parties involved I will make all information available to whoever requests it.
I will relay information from both parties if it is available, to date Philip Marcou is the only one to respond.
I have no dog in this fight but as a buyer of woodworking tool I do have an interest.
From the documents I have seen I do have a bias at this point but I will strive to keep an open mind and will pass on any additional verifiable information with no censorship or coloring of the facts.
I for one would like to know who is being truthful in this matter.
Taunton as is their right has obviously chosen not to be in the midst of this dispute. For those of us to whom this is a matter of some interest, please respond by e-mail.
Please indicate in your correspondence whether or not I can use your information publicly.

I am going to speak for both Philip and Wiktor and say that threads like these are incredibly destructive and those that initiate or add to them are just irresponsible. Stop fanning flames where fire does not exist!
I happen to know what is being discussed, having spoken to each. There is no conflict or situation at this time that needs to involve anyone other than Philip and Wiktor. Let them complete their negotiations in private.

Thank you for saying this Derek....things like this always remind me uncomfortably of a group of junior highschoolers egging on a fight.
To Derek and all - <sigh> ...sometimes my fellow woodworkers on this site amaze me. I first started reading this site back when a similar fuss and holler episode was occurring. I usually stay quiet on this stuff and am not only content that way but usually see great wisdom in doing so. Especially this one. However, let me say this one thing and then I'll shaddup:
I've seen marriages end with the unsolicited help of well-meaning friends who couldn't comprehend that sometimes what is between two people IS NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS. God love 'em, but common sense ain't so common and consideration is not far behind. I'll never forget something my dad-in-law once told me:
"Don't ever let anyone or anything get between you and your wife.....and that includes me!"
That advice has lasted me 25 years.
Business partnerships aren't quite a marriage....but they're close enough.
Peace, all, from someone who wishes reality tv would just go away to wherever disco finally went....

Alas, it surfaced at my daughter's school a few years ago and won't go away :-}To the man with a hammer, all the world is a nail.
God help us. Back around the late 80's I taught high school for a few years and the kids had just rediscovered Led Zeppelin. I had no problem at all with that one....charlie -- "Count your blessings....it could always be worse!"
Amen brother, Amen.
I suspect it must be a slow news week and there's just not a good enough fight going on elsewhere's so everyone started yelling FIGHT (metaphically) on the closed thread trying to start one.If you build it he will come.
