During my discussions with this reporter, who is a man of supposedly "mature years", I had given him names, at his own request, of scientific people worldwide who could verify my technology records. He was supplied not only with names but with addresses and telephone numbers, both in New Zealand and overseas. Here again, Mr. Melville arrogates to himself a misguided notion that it is alright for me to provide names of colleagues in the field yet not alright not to provide names of those I have legal contractual business obligations with. There is a difference in naming "colleagues" and those of the "marketers" about to launch one of my technologies onto the world market and naming those who could sue me for breach of contract whilst negotiating Licensing Rights. The colleague so named in his article is already well publicised many years ago worldwide as being a colleague of mine and the marketers have already advertised the product throughout the U.S.A. These details are already in the public domain and are therefore free of risk. The Australian connection is not. Mr. Melville writes like a vindictive, jealous and spoilt brat and does it stand out, and all because I took his council's friends to task in a "Letter to the Editor" which he and his Editor have still not published.

It would appear that not one of these people so named were contacted by them anyway. In his haste to have me ridiculed Melville had his vitriolic and illegally obtained misinformation published the very next morning unbeknown to myself. He did not tell me he was doing this, and unlike other newspaper articles I have featured in, I was not given any opportunity to vet or authenticate one single word of it before it went to press. In fact, I knew nothing of it until four days after.

One such instance of misinformation and slack journalism I would have corrected Mr. Melville on was his treatment of the fact that I received my Ph.D. from the Colombo Open University in Sri Lanka. Firstly, in his haste, he misquotes the University as the "Columbia" University not even taking the time to validate his own writings. I informed him that the Doctorates I have received have all been bestowed as Honorary Doctorates (or Honorus Causa) and involved a certain degree of correspondences between myself, and the institutions. The way Mr. Melville has treated this information is blatantly suggestive to any but the illiterate that I received these honours by way of correspondence as in "correspondence schooling" - nothing could be further from the truth.
