Actually, the full quote is:

Which implies that while Synergex has been talking with *customers* and *ISVs* for the past 10 months, they also have been in contact with VSI since 2014.

I believe Simon may have interpreted that the former implied that the connection with VSI had only been for the last 10 months when Steve's email clearly says since 2014.

Simon may owe Dave an apology...
