Obviously, the guy is an amateur in the business world.  Violating
copywright laws when $$$ are at stake is serious.  The church of
Scientology sends federal marshalls out and initiates multi-million
dollar lawsuits whenever anyone posts any of their copywrited materials
on the net, and they're supposedly a religion, not a even a business.  
Yes, sometimes they succeed and drive critics into bankruptcy.

If it were me, and I had the time and $$, I'd be PO'd enough to 
counterthreat legal action for copywright infringement.

The guy is just bluffing, and he's not just threatening you, he's
threatening our mailing list.  We've the right to communicate with
each other about various vendors.

Precisely!

Changing subject, someone commented about dirt and dust eventually
winding up on slides.  How effective is the anti-Newton glass?
I've got a good number of slides taken 30 years ago that I mounted
in glass.  Many of them are damaged by rainbow colored rings.  
Because of that experience, I'm a bit hestitant to use glass
mounts for my stereos.
