Here's the reply I sent to Kurt Weiland.

To:     Kurt Weiland
From:   Karin Spaink
Subj.:  Re. your fax
Date:   January 11, 1996


Thank you for your message, sent by fax on Jan. 6.
        Regarding your invitation to meet over a cup of coffee, I must decline.
There are several reasons for this.

You state that you have with you proof of your copyright ownership, and
would like to show this to me. I would kindly ask you to sent any such
material to my lawyer. In this way, it would be available to more people
than just me.
        But I feel obliged to tell you that even if you can prove conclusively that
you indeed have the copyright to the OT's included in the Fishman Affidavit,
this will not necessarily provide sufficient reason to remove this Affidavit
from my homepages. After all, what I have on my homepages is nothing but a
court document and under Dutch law I am allowed to do so. Apart from that,
the Affidavit contains only a small percentage of the full OT's, which
seriously hampers your claim that I am doing something illegal.

Secondly, I have some doubts about the sincerity of your invitation and your
wish to hand over some documents. People from your organisation have wanted
to meet me time and again, always promising to then be able to hand me some
interesting documents. I have always declined such invitations and asked to
be sent the material through mail; I have never ever received anything.
Martin Weightman did not follow up on his promise to sent me material; Leisa
Goodman has not followed up to her promise to look into the mail I sent her
at her request (forwarded postings from alt.religion.scientology).

Thirdly, I am loath to meet on a personal basis with people who are part of
an organisation that refers to me as 'a conspirator' and whose members refer
to me as 'KKKSpaink'. I would expect apologies first.

Fourtly, you reputation as 'the Church's troubleshooter' (viz. your
activities in Spain and in Hamburg) is such that I hardly consider you to be
the kind of man I would like to meet in private and have a cup of coffee
with. Various people that I trust and value have seriously warned me that
one should never meet you without the presence of a lawyer.



Regards,

        Karin Spaink.


groet,
