Please do not top post, OK? I think you know the rules.

The message starts off with name as stating something and referring to 
the fact that the writer of the article is not the author of k3b - which 
is something that I said (obviously incorrect now and so apologies to all).

It is therefore quite easy to take that the message was addressed to me 
directly and the "Hi All" is simply addressing everyone and pointing out 
how wrong I was in stating what I did.
