There was nothing in Mick's email a regular wiseguy on the street
wouldnt have quipped after reading Mark McCarron's unsupported
assertions, certainly nothing legally actionable.

Mark has succeeded in proving something, however.
Namely that he is clueless as well as full of, erm, bluster.
I hope for his sake none of his colleagues, multi-million dollar
employers or clients, read these threads.
