Like to add a few personal notes to you Alan because in your defense
is a contradiction concerning "journalism" and being "friends". In
this special case you can't have them both IMHO.


>At the same time I sent emails to Ed and Rob to warn them and even
>attempted to telephone ED at home.

If you were so concerned about me what about sending an email and then
wait for an answer? I asked you before but you didn't reply.


>I fulfilled my responsibilities both as a journalist and as a friend.
>Unfortunately the journalist in me came first.  I rationalized that

>Okay I lost a friend . I accept that.

No you should not.
But that's my view of course.


>But I do not accept that you accuse me of dishonesty or of
>lacking integrity.

Alan, you were a beta tester for Rebel8 and Rebel9. You called yourself
a friend. But you didn't act like a friend. Now you know what I want.
I want the subject to die as soon as possible.

So it's up to you to decide what is more important for you. "Friendship"
or the "journalist" in you. IMHO you can't use both arguments in your
defense.
