I did not detect any vindication therein myself. Sounds more to me as if "jewguy" does not quite understand all that legal stuff and how it worked out. 

As I understand it, Mr. Schnauber has said he's sorry and will not do it again, which doesn't have much to do with butterflies, and quite a few people have spent about $500 for a chance to win big bucks, which, as in all pyramid schemes, only works for the first few folks who hop on board. 

The links at the end work just fine. They connect with various people and organizations that have nothing to do with Mr. Schnauber's contretemps, and much to do with butterflies. 

I do not detect any triumph in these events, either for him or his victims/opponents. 
He should certainly have put his name and location in the posting, and should confine his remarks to the subject of butterflies. 

You might want to tell leps list who you are now, thus regularizing the relationship. 

happy days
