Overijse (Belgium), May 2004.

Dear Skydiver,

In the past we have been in touch for the Vigil AAD.

Now that my 'partner' Jo Smolders publishes an official document on the USPA website where he connects my name with the recent troubles that the Vigil has, I must inform you about the real situation.

I worked for more than 5 years on this project and invested way over 150.000$ in it.
The Vigil was my idea, from the design, the concept, to the name. I was promised half of everything that the Vigil concerns, and never saw a dime of it.
Since January 2004 I'm not involved in the Vigil project any more. I NEVER received a decent explanation regarding the numerous malfunctions.
Disregarding my insistence as a skydiver, as an instructor, as a rigger and as a partner, I never got any answer on my questions regarding the safety of the product from Mr. Smolders. I told him that under the present circumstances the lives of the skydivers are endangered.

Anyway, due to this situation, I have been forced to consider possible alternatives.

I'm sure that we'll meet again on a DZ sometime.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at +32 (0)485 86 87 88 or bookmark my personal email address: karel.goorts@skynet.be.

Blue skies,

Karel Goorts

Wonder where this person got the addresses?

Wonder what they want me / us to do?

Yep, got it too. She may have the tracking info from the web site. Spyware?

i got it too....in the acct i used to sign up here. it blows my mind that someone can pull mass email addresses off a website like that...is there really software for something like that?

Oh Canada, merci pour la livraison!

Hi Phree!
No...

The account /address I got it on is reserved for
family correspondence only!

And I didn't get it on any of the several skydiving related addressed I have.

Just kinda weird that it would go where it did and not
to any of the others.

Probably not spyware. I got it 5 times to my Ground-Rush.com account, but none to the primary account, just random addresses that went to the catch all account.

yeah I got one too so I asked him why I would want to know about the Vigil when I use a Cypres?

he replied and asked if I want to be taken off his list after querying him about where he got my email address from.
