IMHO, John / TMM have posted some stuff on GFY that has pretty much put themselves in an ugly position.

So true! I do PR for several companies. They love me! I get em' out of jams like no tomorrow. One company I'm hoping for a big payday from soon and I can retire for the third and final time.

I'm glad I got a brief chance to chat with John and kept a cool head. I knew I was right to do so after then chatting with Gonzo and seeing this thread and Gonzo's responses on other boards.

This was a dangerous scenario but I see the industry responding to and handling a potentially major fuck up in a pro level way.

Maybe its Confucy's brother?

The first step to resolving a problem is admitting you have one. John took it solidly on the chin by doing that old "iceberg? What iceberg" routine for a while. He picked it up a little after that, but it is still a fairly shaky situation.

To this point, I have had about a dozen companies using NATS contact me as an affiliate to let me know where they are at with it. None of them has included an official statement, comment, or anything from NATS themselves.

Smooth PR and clear communications would go a long way to resolving this issue.

Gonzo, it really looks like a confucy junior on the game there, someone with a significantly interesting past and an issue with, I gather, not taking his meds all the time. While it would be amusing at any other time, it is really a major sore spot right now. Combined with (what I see as) a failure by TMM / NATS to communicate their situation effectively, and you are looking at all the ingredients for an ugly deal with no winners, just bigger and smaller losers.
