Seems odd that he has *no* financial records for ANN. Could be hard to
prove the financial damages he claims in his suit. He also gives the same
response when asked for circulation figures... "No documents showing the
circulation" of ANN.

(Plaintiff's Response to Request to Produce by Defendant, 4 February 2004)

Sun-N-Fun also requested the names of advertisers who dropped their
advertising with ANN because of SnF's alleged transgressions. Allow me to
quote from Zoom's response:

"The names of the advertisers who were influenced not to advertise with the
Plaintiff s business as a result of the slander alleged in the complaint
a
....
"4] Pulsar Aircraft Co. in El Monte, California for $3,500.00."

(Additional and Amended Answers to Interrogatories, 3 Feb 2004)

Keep in mind that Campbell's lawsuit is based on actions taken by the
Fly-In during SnF 2002...and Campbell sued Pulsar that same week, claiming
they'd ordered advertising but hadn't paid for it.

Pulsar won that case, of course. But I don't really imagine Zoom will ask
them to testify in his behalf....

This has an odd echo in another area, where Zoom has identified an
individual as one who would attest to some of SnF's actions. Rumor has it
that this person had a falling-out with Zoom. Just speculation based on
one or two external signs. But it might be interesting, if SnF insists
that he be deposed.


It would be very interesting indeed since one of the reasons for Sun-N-Fun
baring Campbell was his use of the show to harras some of the vendors there.
He used the Sun-N-Fun event once again in 2002 to serve the lawsuit against
Pulsar and forced Pulsar to return to Florida from California to respond in
court regarding that lawsuit. The obvious idea that nobody would spend more
money on lawyers and commercial airfares to fight a suit that could settled for
just $3500. He was wrong, Pulsar won and the owner represented himself in
court. Seems that zoom had tried to use the old if you don't reply to the
negative, we will run the ad and bill you for it anyway tactic. Apparently
didn't accept that as a valid contract for services.
