I agree. I think Peter was try ting to act in the best interest of the authors
and his response , given what he knew, was appropriate.  As an aside, I think
the whoe transaction should been handled through private e-mail and then all us
could have minded our own business.  When you post in a public forum, saying
"mind your own business" seems to me to be a surprising comeback. Since the
original author elected to make his private business to be public business so to
speak.
