1) ETS does not produce or sell any products and therefore does not advertise products.

2) I don't believe that ETS has pulled the article. this article is still posted and can be found rather easily on this site. If you are referring to the presentation that was given by Mr. Ritter, I have never seen that posted to this site. I believe, from reading the letter from Mr. Ralstons attorney, that was an oral presentation so we only have accounts of what was contained therein. I would suspect that it held to the same tone and content as the article referenced above.

3) The use of Mr. Ralstons name was in relation to a technology not a product. This is identical to saying that Mr. Ralston will soon not have to walk to work because cars have been invented. We are not talking about Fords but cars. This doesn't give any manufacturer or retailer even any incidental advertising. When discussing new technologies it is useful to give examples of why such technologies will or could improve our lives.

To the side, please check your facts and stop this barrage of mis-information. If you can refute the above facts do so specifically else you don't have any more of a case the Mr. Ralston and his attorney.

Mr. Ritter, If I am in error and there is an article which contradicts my assertions then I will appologize for my adversarial tone.

In any case, further discussion on this without specific quotes and details will not come from me.
