Of course Vaughan was polite when he responded to your e-mails. That's his job. But he told me this summer that he dearly hoped, with Phil's public statement, that they'd finally heard the last from you. I told him not to bank on it.

Steve also e-mailed me last year to apologise for the abuse I was getting from you in their "defense". Which was nice, as we've since become quite friendly. It is very clear that the whole of the Show of Hands team would be very happy if you would simply leave them alone. But if you persist in embarrassing yourself in this manner, I guess there's little to stop you, save a restraining order.
