Thanks for responding about this issue. Is it coincidence that both 80/20 and Phorm have associations with B-M? You can probably appreciate that it looks a bit odd. It's also hard to understand how a company whose sole purpose is to put a convenient spin on controversial issues, could have anything to teach a company such as yours which is surely anti-spin. Let alone be needed to do something as mundane as organise meetings. This just doesn't seem to make any sense.

Say we were to suppose that B-M can also act for 'good' as well as in the service of corporate greed - and so could be useful in making the public aware of privacy issues. OK, but then there would be a clear conflict with B-M acting for Phorm - they couldn't be batting on both sides, could they?
