You may consult with a lawyer or the police service in your jurisdiction to determine whether defamation has taken place. If so, there will be some legal mechanism that allows you to provide the contents of the letter to that other company. You can email ChessBase and tell them that so-and-so is maligning their company, and let them worry about it from there -- without quoting the letter. >Note I haven't published the letter. Noted. This whole issue is quite the pile of crap. If auto-232 was junked, and proprietary autoplayers were not accepted for testing purposes, then the issue of attempting to hinder review of a product or service would be front and centre, and look pretty bad on the offending company, as opposed to the current situation where the beef may be quite legitimate because auto-232 is known to have its share of problems. >Bertil Dave
