It is with sadness that I must withdraw from this discussion for a while. An impending bereavement grows ever nearer and the right place for me to be at this time is with my family.

I will try to stay in touch with things as and when I can. There's a written response expected from Neil Berkett that I will keep an eye out for.

To those people who are lurking, please register and join in. We've already achieved a lot against Phorm and today's announcement by VM is a big feather in the caps of everyone here.

There are battles to be won here - the battle to get VM to drop Phorm. VM's statement today is something very unusual. Companies looking to partner don't usually contradict each other in public press releases. VM is clearly having second (and maybe even third) thoughts about Phorm. If more people contribute here and let Neil Berkett (don't bother with customer services) know he's signed up with a real shyster and will lose reputation, customers and money then we can force home our advantage against their uncertainty.

The battle to get BT's sorry ass in court and Webwise declared illegal is one we can make a huge difference in. Spread the word, write to MPs, MEPs, Peers, people of influence in your local communities and make them aware of what Phorm is and what it stands for.

Until we meet again,
