I'm really sorry to pitch in here, but... The centerpiece of this thread, besides technical details of how/whether to prove/disprove the so-called accusations, seems to be an argument on whether Perry's purely FUD'ing, promoting his company/pages, creating the buzz, or whether his words should be taken for their face value. I have to say that Perry here is credited with one thing he actually did not do -- publish this to the world. There has been talk of alterior motives here, but for any of these motives, Perry had to know or pretty damn well guessed that the second thing Theo (hi, Theo) would do to his email was to publish it. Would you plan anything based on a predicted behavior of a person you haven't communicated with in 10 years? This is not to point finger at Theo for creating all this commotion, of course; this commotion can, however, be, an unintended accident, but the fact that it came from Theo gave it a lot of credibility.
