I commend you and your team on resolving the issues in a timely manner.

I do not believe I misrepresented any of the communications between us, 
and I don't think I took anything out of context. I quoted what was said 
is all.

If my "agenda" is to help you and your development team by not only 
alerting you of the problem, but offering up possible solutions to 
remedy the issues, then you're probably right. But to say that I'm 
trying to discredit your application and promote interests of my own 
(IPB is not an interest of mine) is wrong.

Perhaps we should take this off-list, there's no sense in debating it 
here.. no sense in debating this at all even, nobody cares.
