Apology to HGM

Post by Rebel »

Recently I accused HGM of faking emails. I want to make an apology for that because it is not true.

Because the situation felt not good I made an email account on the server of my provider and there they were, the never received emails from HGM in the spam box. I never had this problem, emails marked as spam by the provider were received by my email program anyway.

I also apologized to HGM in private.

Apology accepted. I am happy this issue has now been cleared up.

It was really extremely unfortunate that exactly these two e-mails got lost. I can imagine that this created a totally wrong impression of what I intended to do for the TalkChess repairs.

Thanks for accepting the apology.

I noticed it's not only 2 emails of yours that got lost, but 4. And also one of Quentin :? I moved them from the spam box to the inbox and now I have them in my email program as it should have been.

All very unfortunate.

Well done. It takes a real man to apologize like this. (FYI amanjpro)
