The phrase you keep quoting does not define what they regard as "this phase of our campaign".[/quote]

In contexct of the letter, there is no  possible doubt that "this phase of our campaign" refers to the letters.

[quote]The fact that you interpret the phrase as referring to some all-time non-use of the adverts does not make that binding on them to interpret it the same way. [/quote]
I have interpreted it int he only logical way possible, as anyone with business experience would tell you. The fact that you are unable to see this makes me sincerely doubt your business experience (not to mention your personal website which negate some of the business experience you - you are either lying about owning your own company for 30 years, or you have left out the most crucial bit of knowledge, and the one thing that is most likely to get you hired, off of your CV. If you sent that resume to me it would go straight to the trash, because the only thing it shows is that since the 1960's you've been completely unable to maintain steady employment with any one company. There is also nothing on your homepage that would change my impression of this - nowhere does it say you own your own business. And of course theres also the fact you list "beer" as one of your personal interests on the same page you are trying to get people to hire you - that also shows a lack of business knowledge. In fact beer is even the top interest listed, and one has to read past two others before they see an interest that is related to a job you hope to get. That's demarketing yourself. You're in essence telling potential employers you are more interested in beer than you are in the job you want them to hire you for.

If you are in fact telling the truth than the top of your resume should state "Successfuly ran X company since 19??, and above the list of work experiences you should have a line of text stating that these were projects contracted to your company. You should also keep personal stuff separate from business stuff. And personal stuff like an interest in drinking beer should not be easily traced back to you, as employers are increasingly running people's names through a search enginge/myspace etc before deciding whether or not they are job worthy. Many a candidate looks great until the empliyer stuymbles across the myspace page of them getting wasted.

[quote]As I suggested, "this phase" could just mean the local use of the adverts. The commencement of their next phase might be to show them internationally. I certainly hope this is not the case.[/quote]
However the letter I'm quoting from makes it clear beyond any possible doubt that that is the case. And the quotes I have posted for you prove that. You can't doubt that without trying to deliberately misunderstand what is there.

[quote]Both your further quotes just serve to show how wheedling they are being. They speak of "debate", when I doubt they had any such thing. Their comment that their ads' effects were in some way unintentional just leaves one wondering how much intentionality they are capable of.[/quote]

So you are now criticising them because they say the ads effects were unintentional? So you think they posted them around town because they wanted to intentionally destroy their own credibility on the issues they propose to support? You seem to go quite beyond the realms of normality to find reasons to attack these people.

[quote]I suppose I'm just unhappy that they didn't just admit they got it wrong. [/quote]
They admitted as such as much can be expected from any business looking to make a buck. That's the whole retraction letter

[quote]
I still see no commitment on their part not to repeat the whole fiasco.[/quote]

Thats no surprise given that you are completing blinding yourself to well they spelled it out, in no uncertain terms for you. I've quoted that, and I've explained that. if you still can't see it, its not because its not there, its because you aren't willing to see it. Granted I can understand not wanting to see that, being as they didn't say it straight forward, but that still doesn't negate the fact that they have admitted it was a mistake.[/quote]
