Screaming Penguin - Source Does Matter

Sir I grant you that he is not responding, at least I have not seen such response, in that regard you are correct.

And I am not *not* backing you up (but I also dont think reciprocation of "backing up" people is the point here). I did not accuse nor support anyone.

Also I am well aware of journalistic standards but dont quite count the Register as pure "journalism" anyway (I take it with a grain of "online journalism" salt).

I was only stating that it seems crazy for him to have outright lied about that email. What I said was - "Maybe it was a *misunderstanding*". (Maybe he had an older email from some other version or something.)

Or yes, maybe he made the whole damn thing up in which case he is a pathetic liar.

At the end of the day I think its safe to say you responded to all and were very open (something that is very admirable) and we should just get past the whole misunderstanding itself (or Orlowski lies, whatever).

I understand your frustration as he did attack you, clearly, and if it was false then hes an asshole (and guilty of libel?) - but either way its time to move on.

At this point the only thing I can accuse you of is working/with/for/about IE, a henious and desperate act which should be made fun of at every possible opportunity ;) (thats a joke).
