A little bit of a follow-up; I e-mailed back and forth with Dave on this, and he's confident that - as Havard has so ably reported here and on his blog! - that this matter will be resolved; his lawyer is drafting the appropriate letters and agreements.
On a personal note, I found that this publication - no matter how well-intentioned - was just 'not on'. Dave is, for heaven's sake in the phone book and easily reachable; he was a guest at the recent Gary Con in Lake Geneva, for example.
Because of this, I have applied for a formal License from Maj. Wesely to become an Authorized Braunstein Referee, Certified To Run Braunsteins In An Authentic and Approved Manner - i.e., to try to keep ahead of the chaos. I will be displaying my license certificate at all future Bruansteins that I run...
