As far as I understand, it was a public statement, so wasn't mentioned to him specifically.

As Yasu said, the statement was made in public. So why shoud anyone be pissed off? I'm puzzled.

> you will either have to take our words for it (or not).

Of course I take Yasu's word for it, but why do you give me your word when you don't even remember said public statement? I'm confused.

Which project? It somehow begins to feel like Twilight Zone here ;-)
