You are correct Jan-Erik.

I was way too angry when I posted here and I should have done what
I did with the Register reply and review it and change it to use
more neutral language before posting. I didn't do that and it was
a mistake. My apologies.

The reason I reacted so strongly is that I considered it to be
an attack against my personal integrity and my integrity is something
that is _very_ important to me.

Imagine if you are in an interview for something and someone does
some research on you and finds that and drops it on you without
you having been previously aware of it. That interview suddenly
turns into you explaining the background to this instead of you
talking about what you came to talk about.

I should have reviewed the posting before posting it and should have
changed it to use more accurate language. I didn't and that was also
a mistake.

Simon.
