The extra 's' on the end of "email" was an oversight. My apologies.
I'll take care to re-read my posts six times before hitting the send
button, as indeed should the scientists at the CRU just in case some
criminals stole their private comments that weren't meant for general
consumption.

It's the very first example cited in the original Andrew Bolt article.
 OK, so supposedly one of the most damning. If you were a journalist
you'd start with an example you thought was pretty strong wouldn't
you? Grab the reader's attention?

And this wonderful damning example turns out to be completely
innocent. That is the point I am making which you continue to refuse
to acknowledge.

I hereby bow out of this discussion as you are clearly not prepared to listen.
