My input to my lawyer in response.

Subject: RE: Yourself and Ashu Solo
My response regarding the allegations:
- The first box : WorldComp URL and my blog page http://sandrafinley.ca/?p=11503
The content of the posting (11503) shows that the WorldComp URL was sent to me. Sent: August-28-13 10:38 AM.
I did not write the material on the WorldComp URL.
I responded to the email I received reasonably and responsibly:
I propose we let it play out for a while yet.
The difficulty is in knowing which information to trust
2. The first box: WorldComp URL and my blog page http://sandrafinley.ca/?p=11491
This is a duplication of #1. Sent: August-28-13 10:38 AM.
3. The second box: WorldComp URL and my blog page http://sandrafinley.ca/?p=11963
See following. There is nothing defamatory in the material I posted. It is a reasonable investigation and reporting back with a statement of facts.
Ashu’s name is apparently associated with WORLDCOMP. Googling “site: world-academy-of-science.org ashu” yields about 1100 hits. For instance, Ashu is listed at http://www.world-academy-of-science.org/worldcomp08/ws/conferences/swws08/committee among the Members of Program & Organizing Committee for WorldComp’08.
I have found WORLDCOMP denounced as bogus in the following pages, including frequent mention of Ashu Solo’s involvement:
- https://sites.google.com/site/dumpconf/ (has extensive links to comments by numerous researchers)
- http://worldcomp-fake-bogus.blogspot.ca/ (INSERT: see *Appended)
- (As of April 11, 2017: This link has been broken for 26 days.) http://www.qualityofconferences.com/
I can’t verify the credentials of the people making the accusations, but the number of different sources and the number of references given, at least in the first of the three sites, means it’s a little hard to dismiss all that as the work of a single crank.
4. The third box: a google site (URL) and my blog page http://sandrafinley.ca/?p=11963
This is a duplication of #3. I have no interest in the Google site. I did not author it. I listed it because it showed up in the search I did.
5. The fourth box: “quality of conferences” (URL), and my blog page http://sandrafinley.ca/?p=11963
Again, this is a duplication of #3. I have no interest in the “quality of conferences” site. I did not author it. I listed it because it showed up in the search I did.
6. The fifth box: “tzmaxx” (URL) and my blog page http://sandrafinley.ca/?p=11775
If you click on tzmaxx, it is “not found”. I cannot respond to this allegation, other than to say I have one blog (www.sandrafinley.ca). I maintain my credibility by the quality of the content.
7. Regarding Allegation #2 that there are 202 hyperlinks.
I am not going to count; I accept Mr. Solo’s count. It is irrelevant. The question, of course, is whether the material is defamatory.
