  Declan,
  
  Not to put too fine a point on it but...what I emailed you is not what you quote
  me to say above.
  
  For the record...you have posted that you found my message 'incoherent'.
  
  I said to you, verbatim, and nothing else:
  ===========================================================
  "Sorry you found it incoherent, that was not my intention.  I read something
  in the wee hours this morning that alluded to Microsoft 'people' chatting up
  many reporters in the hallways yesterday at this conference.  Admittedly, I
  was not there.  I was hopeful that you or someone else on this list could shed
  more light on it.  Maybe it was ZNET or NEWS  www pages from last night.
  
  Erick Andrews"
  ============================================================
  
  ...just so everyone may better understand my context.  Again,  I was not there.  I
  was only seeking more about what went on.
  
  And, thanks for giving us the name of this Microsoft guy who is called John Pinette.
  
  All the best,
  Erick
