I hereby offer a FULL and PUBLIC apology to Richard Gooch for my post
as above. On this occasion, Richard was correct in stating that he was
not responsible for the posts that I was basing my comments above on,
and I was somewhat hasty in assuming him to be.

For reference, the emails in question were clearly FORGED to appear as
if they had come from Richard when they in reality hadn't. I can't
trace where they did come from since I don't have the relevant details
available, but as far as I'm concerned, richard is in the clear now.

Best wishes from Riley.
