My point was entirely that this poor fellow was being lambasted *on this mailing 
list* for believing what he was told, even after posting his log of the 
conversation in which he was told this. I'm not going to judge or even comment 
on the helpfulness of anyone in the channel.

It was just an attempt to forestall the ongoing criticism of ... the victim ... 
when it was apparent he's not really entirely at fault here. Nothing else to 
see here :o)

Sorry, I probably didn't provide enough context there ...
