Bet You Won't Read This Post On "Wall Street Pit"
For the past 2.5 years or so, Wall Street Pit (I'm intentionally not providing a link), which claims to be "a Seattle-based financial website, has reposted many of the things I've written on Capital Gains and Games. They initially did it with my permission, which was granted to someone named Ron Haruni on August 10, 2009. In an e-mail to me requesting the permission, Haruni claimed to be the editor-in-chief.
I've been trying to revoke that permission since the beginning of this month, but all of the e-mails I've sent to the Pits have bounced back. This includes an email to the advertising sales department, which, as any blogger will tell you, is almost always the highest priority for a response.
So here's a message to the person at the Pits who seems to read everything on CG&G and makes the decision to republish it...You are hereby notified that the permission granted to you on August 10, 2009, is revoked.
You can contact me through the contact CG&G form above. Unlike your contact information (which really is the pits), I can promise that you'll get a response.
Comment regarding our site r completely & categorically unfair
Stan,
We've had DNS issues that unbenounced to us have persisted for the last couple of weeks. This is the only and I repeat the "only" reason (the rest of your insinuations, I'm sorry to say but have no basis, merit or truth)why we haven't been able to read your emails and subsequently terminate our agreement.
The August 10, 2009-email that u have apparently saved, would have actually worked in terms of contacting us had u tried sending it. Regardless, I apologize for the inconvenience and as per your request the termination of our agreement is in effect immediately.
Best,
Ron Haruni
