Making an apology would be admitting guilt.
I sure hope he does, but I'm not holding my breath after reading those emails.

And it's stunts like this that probably make companies hesitate to send out review units to keep.
At least with HWC they go on sale and the money goes to charity.

Kudos to Hardware Canucks for keeping a level head through this mess. The story has been posted at Icrontic.com.

We'd much rather draw folks in with better content than this, but we're certainly happy to see you, and look forward to seeing you around the forums.

As a fellow reviewer, I'm still at a loss for words over this whole ordeal. What a mess. I just wanted to echo BuddyJ's comments and tell you that you guys handled this very admirably.
Always loved your reviews, SKYMTL. Keep up the great work
