You can also view the following email that I received, again from Kate Pickering at Davies Collison Cave, after my faxed reply to their printed letter had been received.
26 August, 2003 Craig Dewick, 9 McKell Avenue, Waterfall, NSW 2233 Subject: Your letter of demand to transfer registration of 'correctscientology.info' and 'scientology.com.au' domain names to your client (Church of Scientology's Religious Technology Centre, based in the USA). Hello Kate, I write in reference to your letter ref # RMD:KEP:JLB:990368 dated 21-Aug-2003. That letter contains a demand for me to transfer registration of the 'correctscientology.info' and 'scientology.com.au' domain names to your client (the Church of Scientology's Religious Technology Centre, based in the USA) within 7 days of the date of your letter. Your letter contained a request that I return a signed copy of the original letter by no later than 12:00 pm on Monday 25-Aug-2003 (ie. Yesterday) to your firm's address in Melbourne. I note that you did kindly supply a copy of the letter. It is impossible to comply with the above-mentioned request since I received your letter late yesterday morning (Monday 25-Aug-2003 - ie. The same day as you required the signed copy to be returned) around 11 am by courier, and there is no possible means to transport an item (be it printed matter or other physical goods) from Sydney to Melbourne in less than 1 business day without inconceivably high expense. Due to the terms of your letter being impossible to meet, and quite unreasonable, I consider your current demand to transfer registration of the two domain names in question null and void. If you would like to continue dialog on this issue, please do not make unreasonable demands or requests. Any future unreasonable demands or requests may be regarded as hostile attempts to intimidate me. As a result of your letter (and other correspondences that other representatives of your client have had with me on the same matter), any future demands of requests (whether unreasonable or not) may now be very unlikely to produce a result favourable to your client. I too would prefer to not resort to becoming involved in legal action. You and your client should research the full facts of the matters more thoroughly before making demands which appear to be based on pure legal interpretation with no clear relevance to the actual facts. If you would like assistance with your research into the full facts of the matter you are welcome to contact me again in the future, providing the conduct of such future contact(s) is fair and reasonable. Sincerely [ signature ] Craig Dewick
