Jon, you indeed deserve an apology. I thought of retracting my statement after I wrote it--perhaps I should have--but my gatling-gun brain had me on several topics throughout the day, coupled with the fact I've been using a borrowed computer (so I had to get on and off in order to facilitate the owner's need). One thought led to another, and I was onto something else, and thus my retraction didn't happen.
I was wrong to suggest you only appear to bring the price down, like Other Chap has historically been famous for doing, and that you disappeared during the heavy buying spree which brought the price back. In point of fact, you're always around--day and night. Whether I agree with what you sometimes contribute is quite another matter.
But, as you said, I was commenting on coincidence. I wasn't "making stuff up," as you were when you earlier inferred that there would be an investigation. I also thought, given your own proclamations, that you should have held Matty G accountable for his negative inferral as well, and I held that you didn't do this because his view mirrored your own. You see, if you're truly going to be "in the middle," you've got an obligation to criticize both sides, not one.
Best regards,
