Art:

That is very kind and appreciated. As you pointed out, there was a lot of propriatary information shared which took a lot of time and expense to gain. The hard costs to George, Tim and myself to put on that Saturday clinic was well in excess of $1,000.00. It came out of our pockets... and we were happy to do it.

We presented that session to individuals in a spirit of honor and free of charge so that they could use the information to their own personal benefit. I would hope that anyone who would make an attempt to market products using knowledge provided by GAMI, would certainly ask permission to use that knowledge on a contractual business basis. That seems fair to me ( and I would not profit one penny from any said agreement).

The internet is a very good thing but to think that, just because you heard about it on the internet, that automatically makes it free to all who find out about it is not compatible with the continued sharing of knowledge.

Art, thank you for your thoughts on the subject.

I have more than just a little problem with taking information and trade secrets that where shared with
members of this list and turning it over to the competition
without first going to GAMI either to see if they will do
the work or give permission to use their ideas. If permission is refused we should honor that decision. George and
Walter have been very generous with their and assistance
over the years.
