Dear Friends,

We are pleased to announce that the Millers et al, and Gentle Wind
Project, are now permanently 'becalmed' by a Lawsuit Settlement

This is a landmark victory for freedom of speech.

At the last minute (trial was scheduled to begin December 4th) we
wrote the terms for a Settlement Agreement that was requested by
John "Tubby" Miller and Mary "Moe" Miller (AKA Panuthos/Carreiro),
co-founders of GWP, and their co-plaintiffs, Shelly Miller, Carol
Miller, Joan Carreiro, and Pam Ranheim. The agreement ends 2 ½ years
of lawsuits against us.

In an about turn from the former-GWP leaders' determined verbiage in
2004 that they would take their case "to the Supreme Court" to force
removal of our Internet stories, the Settlement Agreement insures
that we will continue to operate, without interference of any kind,
the website known as Wind of Changes: http://www.windofchanges.org

Following the Millers' settlement request, the GWP Court Receiver
has also signed an Agreement with us on behalf of the GWP Estate
(which was still included in the lawsuit after GWP was put out of
business and into Receivership in August 2006 by the Maine Attorney
General). We will receive "an undisclosed amount" from the Receiver
to resolve the lawsuit and resolve our claim for reimbursement to
the GWP Estate.

Consequently, we have dismissed our counterclaims against the
Millers et al, as well as against the GWP Receiver Estate.

Much more important than the money, we provided an essential service
to the public by telling the truth about our experiences with GWP,
and we balanced out some of the effects of what we caused for people
while we were influenced by GWP's belief system.

The positive benefits for us were that at each stage of defending
ourselves, we became freer of the effects of our involvement with
the group. As a result, even though we were immersed in defending
one of the most aggressive lawsuits filed by a nonprofit group in
Maine's history, we were able to reclaim our lives again.

Our website will remain online indefinitely so that individuals can
continue to make informed decisions about GWP's activities. We will
eventually bring the information up to date with the present events
and, as time allows, we will add more.

We are forever grateful to everyone who wished us well during this
long process, especially Carl, the generous Moderator of this
Forum.
