Dear Gold,
          Your letter of 2 August is too contemptible to merit a reply. However, you may if you choose pay a visit to my website [www.enteract.com/~peterk] and read my account, with background, of our correspondence. It will contain a public response to the sordid and cowardly way in which your client has, with your assistance, conducted himself in this matter.
