Dan:

My apologies for any negitive psychological effects my reply to the
password sharing thread, may have had on you. It was not a case of
mistaken identity, but rather a case of replying to the last poster,
instead of to the list. gmail has this quick reply box on the bottom,
and I clicked on that, typed my reply and clicked 'send'. I simply
forgot to change it to 'Reply to all' instead of just 'reply'.

Maybe I was a bit quick on the gun, but I felt annoyed by someone
posting that they had 'found' a website, vouched for their staff(Great
People), and failed to address whether or not the site was their own.

I wouldn't have had so much of a problem, with a direct honest
announcement, that they had formed a new IT company, as opposed to
casting the impression that this was a site that they had no intrest
in, and had just hopped across it whilst searching
google/yahoo/whatever.

I can't believe this got 12 replies.
