This mail deserved special mention and a rethink:

"...way out of line.  He could just be selling EE products. They wholesale, you know.  I've sold them myself."

This is true and had not occurred to me.    He could be legitimately retailing EE products and I do recall they did at one time wholesale to Violet Wand Guild members though I can not confirm if that's still in place.  But I will check on this possibility.  

Update:  I did check, and he does not wholesale EE products.  But he did take their photos down when his infringement was reported here.  Now he's pretty hot about someone infringing on him.  Unfortunately, what goes around, comes around.   sigh...I sincerely long for the good old days.
