You reported me to Oracle management once for having passed on commercially sensitive information to Steve Adams. Without one shred of actual evidence, of course. And without it being even remotely true.

So do forgive me if I am rather concerned about your current behaviour and its possible motivations. It has, as far as it has concerned me, been bordering on the unethical at times in the past.
