Having ALPA* and their pack of "Not ready for prime-time" attorneys sending an "information request" could very well be intimidating(and if you don't think it's a threat, enjoy Fantasy Land). Whoever ran that site didn't collect membership fees and there was no advertising, so they would need to pay for legal representation themselves. ALPA legal may not be the brightest organization on the planet, but they are well funded.

...only succeed in making themselves look like nothing more than a fringe element of malcontents.
Hard to show you a smoking gun when SPA ALPA financials are burried deeper than Jimmy Hoffa. Fringe Element? I think I'll use that for my screen name on the new board, thanks.
