Darn, I was hoping to keep this off-list, but, okay.
(I _did_ read the mail that you sent to the list; as I said,
I've got all 3500 posts from september to present spooled.)

I do still believe that a fair share of the readers could
not help but interpret this as a direct response to Kriss'
statements about us, from someone automatically lent a
certain degree of credibility just from the company that
you represent. This prompted my (late) reply.
However, I could of course be wrong, so in the
interest of keeping the noise to signal ratio of
the list down, I yield and apologize for any
inconvenience caused.
