Dear Sirs,
Thank you for letting me know. I'm not certain whether I have pasted the correct materials at the top of this-I only hope so. No, I am not trying to advertise or anything of the sort. I have just been having the most awful time with Mr. Marco Shirodkar and his "hovhanessdotcom" private website.
I have been attacked up, down, and nearly everywhere by this guy, simply because I am trying to help supply Alan Hovhaness research.
In trying to establish (advertise?) himself as the "number one authority" of Alan Hovhaness (does he have any credentials?) he has stolen materials from me and my colleagues in Armenia, and has just been a major upset and hindrance in every way imaginable.
I suspect he has initiated this present business.
Again, I am not trying to advertise.
I was a colleague and friend of Alan Hovhaness and just wish to see his story presented correctly and to contribute in this way.
Please advise me that we can put things right.
Sincerely,

Gosh,
I don't know how to answer. One feels like one is part of some bizarre Franz Kafka story. Back when I was trying to contribute as an individual, I was told to get a log-in identity. So I thought I was following the rules and did exactly that. Now it seems reversed. So what should I do? I'm grateful for your your kind advice.
