winewood,
I tip my hat to you sir! ! You did a fine job of research into this matter. And you did it in what was a very fair and above board manner.
The [H] has made a number of mistakes in the past few months. And stonewalling (as you encountered) and slandering of both people and sites are the response they have shown in each case.
I commend you for your cooler head and well thought out search for FACTS.
Please understand that after seeing more than one of the [H] antics many reach a quick conclusion, without your efforts.
I don't know if you were able to read some of the ranting statments made by Steve and Kyle on their own site, in their own forums about people/sites, (Not just Procooling, but the more recent one with JCViggen and other former long standing members of the [H] & finally the Extreme System site that JCViggen also belonged to). Kyles comments in his e-mails to you seem to forget HIS and Steve's abuse of others and other sites. Kyle is clearly interested in only looking out for his income. Sad. I really enjoyed reading Kyles e-mails to you, "Do what you need to bro." & "Quite honestly, all this is months old and really has no priority with me. I have no ethical issues with the information or how it was presented." He doesn't care what you may say, as it is his perception that it can't hurt him or his site that, "it's months old". But again I thank you for your efforts. And he's SO wrong! !
His lies and bannings are only just starting to come home to roost. What he fails to relize is that there are rapidly growing numbers of people who have noted the behavior of [H] (Steve & Kyle) in the past few months. Kyle and Steve through their own actions are going to destroy the [H] far faster than any here or at Extreme systems can do. They fail to understand how long peoples memorys are when they have been wronged & slandered.
I'm sure your balanced efforts to find the truth have been a eye opener for you regarding that sites leadership.
In case you're wondering, I've never been a member of the [H], and have rarely visited the site.
