Hello all,
Thanks to all who have helped in this situation. There were some hard
times to go through but it has concluded well. Through an agent of the
Eventemp Corporation we have worked out an understanding and I
am certain they are clear on how to behave on the Internet.
To all the NANAE folk who have mirrored my webpage... I am in your
debt. It made all the difference to people researching Eventemp to run
into that wall of search engine hits ;-).
It is now time to give the Eventemp Corporation some peace on the
Internet to allow them to thrive or crash and burn on their own.
I would like to ask that all of the mirror pages and other references
to the Eventemp Corporation be removed. The Dejanews archive will
still show the full story of what went on so I think that keeping the
web references up is unduly harsh for a repentant spamming company.
As always you should verify posts as this. As I have met J.D. Falk
he can verify my identity. If you have sent me Email in the past I probably
still have it somewhere, if you kept the same archives we can get a match.
I can also meet with people in the South Bay Area in California.
The check mentioned below passed through my hands today and
should reach Jayne tomorrow. For the record the amount was $500.
Extra points for knowing which Jayne I am referring to. ;-)
Give me some time to reply to direct Email. Its a long story..

Here is the Eventemp "NANAE" release
- Unedited for content but spell checked somewhat.

Attention Eventemp Watchers!!
The following is the final statement and conclusive ending to all concerns
on the behalf of Eventemp and Mr. Richard Hilgersom.
On behalf of Mr. Hilgersom and resolution to his efforts to expose unlawful
practice, Eventemp has come to resolve the issues put forth on the Internet
by Mr. Hilgersom and the following duplication of his posting. Mr. Hilgersom
at this time and posting date has deemed Eventemp a fair and legal effort
that may resume good and proper business practice. Eventemp has suffered
financially by the lack of normal trading of a small cap company and needs
desperately to return to the potential side of interest on the merit of the
product. Mr. Hilgersom wishes to recommend that you trust your own
investment knowledge on Eventemp and it's product, based on current behavior and
information available. Assuming it possible, Eventemp will re-establish
credible existence for worthy trade from this date forward. At this time Mr.
Hilgersom has agreed to participate in the conclusion of, and removal of,
his postings. Therefore return Eventemp to good standing within the trading
public. However much, that can not be removed, should be considered as a
resolved matter as of This Notice and not applicable to current standings of
Eventemp.
The Eventemp Corporation understands that the Internet
is for everyone's use and it is committed to stopping
harassment on the Internet. The Eventemp Corporation has made a
donation to the Jayne Hitchcock H.E.L.P. Fund, a widely
known case that can be referenced at:
https://members.tripod.com/~cyberstalked/story.html
If you have followed this story and wish to read on I have completely
compiled the events that transpired.
Eventemp is the creation of Brad Schroeder of Scottsdale, Arizona. He, as so
many have, has invented a product for automobiles that pre-heats or cools
the interior of the automobile by the calling of a paging device, without
starting the automobile's engine. After two and a half years of securing a
patent and potential product for sale, Brad Schroeder and the staff of
Eventemp implemented part of the Companies strategy to expose the product.
One method selected was a web page site, formerly located at Eventemp.com.,
with a simple web layout. This was contracted to a private individual and
completed.
The principals of Eventemp are near computer illiterate. At this same or
approximate time Eventemp signed an agreement with Sloane-Fitzgerald Inc.,
(a marketing company) , for promotion. Sloane-Fitzgerald authorized
unlawful bulk advertisement that was sent in many directions to many people
through the Internet email media. As the sending of bulk advertisement is
unlawful in some states, and legal in others, the information, as with all advertising,
must conform to legal means of all governing bodies that are affected. The content of these news
emails illegally stated numerical values for potential gain. Mr. Richard Hilgersom (a
citizen) received these emails and responded to the" to good to be true language"
engaged by content of the news releases. Mr. Hilgersom followed with a call
to the governing bodies to alert them to the possible criminal activity.
While following up Mr. Hilgersom encountered several alarming responses on
behalf of Eventemp and Sloan-Fitzgerald. Unknown to Eventemp of the spamming
practice, Eventemp was perplexed by the initial feed back resulting from
Mr. Hilgersom's web page. The response, to Mr. Hilgersom, was two separate
sources that created an even greater level of concern. The initial response
to Mr. Hilgersom was generated by Sloan-Fitzgerald and an attempt of
thuggery by those within the confines of the terminals that posted the emails and
news flashes. Including an ignorant death threat to the parents of Mr.
Hilgersom. I am amazed at the ability of the author of the death threat to
find such personal information. This person has been identified through
posting records.
Without the knowledge of being computer engaged, the people of Eventemp
never really understood, until too late, the magnitude of what was
transpiring on the Internet. Because Eventemp has many shareholders that are
local, pressure was applied to remedy what everyone who is computer engaged
was seeing as a direct link to the lack of funds available as result of
slowed trading. Eventemp's response was illiterate in approach due to the
lack of exposure to the intricacies of the Internet and what Mr. Hilgersom
represented. Eventemp was never on the same landscape with Mr. Hilgersom and
failed to resolve the appearance of their behavior with proper guidance in a
timely manner.
Sloane-Fitzgerald was investigated and without admitting guilt, paid a
$15,000 dollar fine as a result and is not affiliated with Eventemp.
Although an agent of Sloane-Fitzgerald does hold shares as a result of
compensation for services rendered in initial agreement with Eventemp.
The content of approximately 4 months of intense Internet postings against
Eventemp, has embedded itself deep within the information gatherings of the
Internet and has repelled would be stock investors. This has choked the
company's implementation of plans. With all concerned, Mr. Hilgersom has
been engaged by a shareholder in Eventemp, Keith R. Wilson. Also a personal
friend of Brad Schroeder. On behalf of the shareholders of Eventemp, Mr
Wilson has sought out proper counsel and direction at his expense to seek
remedy to Mr. Hilgersom's final concerns with Eventemp. Without hesitation
Mr. Hilgersom has agreed to the remedies sought by Mr. Wilson and has proven
to be very cordial in resolution. In this agreement Mr. Hilgersom has
approved the removal of his web posting and to continue with various means
of retracting what can be removed. This will be evidenced by the changing
search listings and possible reposting of Eventemp's Original Web Page.
On behalf of Eventemp and it's shareholders I would like to thank Mr.
Hilgersom for his efforts of being a good citizen, for I believe he has
saved Eventemp from further and more costly repercussions, due to it's
association with Sloane-Fitzgerald.
This document has been authored in the third party context by Mr. Keih R.
Wilson (Shareholder) under guidance of Mr. Hilgersom.
