 Actually, I never misrepresented you. Misinterpreting you, I may be
guilty of. Misrepresentation, however, implies an explicit intent to
deceive, not an unbiased error in judgement or interpretation. I did
say that it was 'my interpretation'. However, I believe the thread
below is a prime example of what I 'interpreted'.

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.telephony.fax.hylafax.devel/4315

 If I did completely misunderstand and misinterpret your intention
and meaning, then I offer my apologies. However, unless my grasp of
my native tongue has slipped completely, I believe I did not.

All the best,

Matt
