That is irrelevant. If someone tells me something in confidence it stays between myself and them. There is nothing nefarious about asking someone not to leak information which is due to be publicly announced at an event in the future.
If people felt they couldn't trust me to discuss things "off the record" then I wouldn't have been able to get half of the information I have been given over the past couple of months.
The news about the International Working Group was mentioned during casual conversation not an official email/interview etc. If you were having a conversation with me and said something you wanted to keep between ourselves and I suddenly posted it all over the web, how would you feel?
It is no different to me having advanced notice of the Investors Chronicle article or the upcoming Economist article.
Now I have said this before, I won't respond to attacks against 80/20; my battle is with Phorm and anyone else who wants to use similar technology which contravenes our rights under law, not Simon Davies or anyone else at 80/20 Thinking. So I will say no more on this matter and respectfully request we get back to the matter at hand - Phorm.
