We obviously hit some raw, exposed nerves yesterday with our very popular "smithvi2003" profile (our site received over 1,000 hits in a just a few hours and our comments section is as active as it's ever been).
Naturally, this makes us happy.
Not surprisingly, some of the HHI poseurs on the Yahoo board are suggesting today that Odyssey is behind our work or involved in what we do. Well, we said this our first day in existence and we'll reiterate it now: HH Watch has no relationship with Odyssey Marine Exploration whatsoever. We don't seek or receive ideas or suggestions from them about anything we write about. In fact, we're pretty sure they wouldn't want anything to do with us -- we have pretty righteous potty mouths, after all.
(And besides, we've already made our feelings about Greg Stemm well known.)
What's more, we don't focus exclusively on HHI's Odyssey writings. We've ripped them on all manner of other hypocrisies and lies on other topics. We're equal opportunity when it comes to exposing and slamming the history and archaeology poseurs.
However, if the HHI misanthropes want to persist in perpetuating this false claim publicly, and if one in particular, who's about to go to court for libel and defamation, wants to keep spreading this lie on Yahoo, we'd be more than happy to provide an official statement or documentation to the court to show our complete independence, should it come to that.
Is that clear enough? We think so.
Finally, a post-mortem on Smitty: for a while yesterday, incredibly, he rather lamely posted on Yahoo about actually being a victim of a "personal attack." After we wiped away our tears (of laughter), we couldn't help but be intrigued by this pathetic position. After all, if you take the time to read the sordid collection of his Yahoo posts -- his very own words -- the guy would stoop to any level to personally savage other individuals and companies. We sensed nothing more than a defeated, demoralized palooka. We're guessing his HHI masters certainly couldn't have been amused.
And, if Doc or his lawyer is intending to use Smitty or others as some kind of character witness during his libel trial, as "smithvi" suggested (and we find this highly suspect: who will pay for this spectacle? Doc has already pled legal pauperism to the court), then we think this long trail of Smitty slime would certainly make for an interesting inclusion in the court documents. Lord forbid the scumbag actually got up in front of a courtroom (though we really like the comedic possibilities in that scenerio!)
Smitty's obviously ashamed. He should be -- his sordid past caught up with him. And it couldn't have happened to a nicer feller.

I bet Smitty is working overtime to have all his posts removed from Yahoo!
That wouldn't surprise us either.
Doesn't matter though: Our source provided us screen captures of a healthy number of his Yahoo posts over the years. Believe it or not, we only used a small sampling of his worst efforts.
