Well I didn't really correct the statement in response to their legal team. I retracted the statement a long time before I heard from BT or Phorm. I retracted the statement as an act of good faith until the issue could be clarified and that was a decision I made without any legal prodding.
It may seem like splitting hairs but makes a big difference with regards to whether or not I could be accused of defamation. If you recall the sequence of events, I posted my original opinion stating it needed to be clarified, then after more thought and discussion I added an update in big red bold font offering an alternative interpretation but still stating the situation needed clarifying and then I retracted the part entirely mid morning yesterday and replaced it with a paragraph inviting Kent a right to reply to clarify the issue.
