As I read up on copyright law, I find that there is a time frame of 3 years for civil and 5 years for criminal proceedings to be intiated.
We will keep litigation under consideration depending on your cooperation henceforth as per requested above.

I'm quite sure in time you'll find that you should not have been jerkin' on the Colorado Prospector club/website's chain!! It's attatched to the CP train which is steaming ahead!

To anyone else reading this posting.....I'd be very careful spending any time or money with someone who's so completely unprofessional, unethical, immoral.......etc etc. As you can see from past actions of his own, this is his character/nature he operates his businesses under!
WARNING.....XXXX XXXXXX XX X XXXX XXXXXX XXX XXXXX

Colorado Prospector club and website has NO AFFILIATION with this person or any of his businesses!!

I'm sorry to hear of this Dan & Denise.
This club has been nothing but good to me since I joined as beginner. I knew nothing of gold prospecting when I first joined and remember an early thread I started asking how to season a pan, lol... now I am the proud owner of a productive claim which I staked myself thanks to this club and the people here. I have learned SO much at this site and have many here to thank.
This person's propaganda is slanderous and wildly incorrect. And not only has he used CP Club copyright-stamped images.... he didn't even bother to crop out the CP copyright insignia? Excuse my pun, but that's like something you'd see on TV's "Worlds Dumbest Criminals" or similar show.
Thanks for the heads-up on this person and associated companies Dan. Like russau... I will forward this information to others as well.

also....
Is this the same "Sandaway" person who tried to spam stuff here a while back? If I recall there was a thread where you guys asked him politely to stop and he got disgruntled and disappeared or something. If that's the case... maybe this is his way of vengeance or spite, like he has an axe to grind? Like... "let me network and advertise, and/or link my products and services at your site for free or suffer my wrath"?
That might make sense.... if you look up the word "sociopath", that is. Please do Mr Finley if you are this "Sandaway" person.
If this is the case I can only suggest that you rethink your actions, stop your behavior, and apologize to Dan & Denise... as well as this club and members.
If you cannot grasp the nature of your actions (as well as potential legal consequences)... I may have to call Dr Phil on you.

D&D, iffn ya need help, should you decide to move forward with legal action.... just whistle.
Dan, I admire you for addressing this tactfully and rationally, most would not.

Keep up the great work with this club, we appreciate it.
