I have received a *lot* of mail from people who paid $12 to Tesladar
Communications (Tom Darter's company) and didn't receive anything in
return.
Last July, Yamaha turned over the publication of AfterTouch over to
Tom Darter (it's editor at the time) and a subscription fee was
instituted. Many people paid their subscription and haven't heard a
thing from Tesladar...not even a note saying the venture was a bust.
I'm preparing a letter for Keyboard and Electronic Musician and I
would like to get a list of people on UseNet who mailed checks, had
them cashed, and received nothing in return.
Yamaha says it doesn't know what happened to the venture or the money.
I see charges of mail fraud and possible legal action in the future.
If you lost money and want to be included in a group complaint, send
me a note with permission to use your name. (It would be helpful to
include your postal mailing address.)
Does anyone know what happened?
