I don't understand how publication in your blog of snippets of emails, editted by you, still from an anonymous source, allegedly posted to a private list which we do not have access to, which don't really even come out fully in support of your claims, is supposed to help your position.

I'm still as skeptical as I was before, since nothing has changed, except that you have again failed to provide anything that we can verify.

One could hope that a self-proclaimed champion of the software patent resistance would demonstrate better judgement.

"I don't understand how publication in your blog of snippets of emails... *which don't really even come out fully in support of your claims*, is supposed to help your position." [my emphasis]

Exactly my thoughts on reading what Mr Mueller published; even with the heavy editing and removal of almost all context, the emails only suggest (at worst) that an advisor to an MEP formed an impression and agreed with an allegation.

Mr Webbink may be a lawyer; it's clear that Mr Mueller is a politician.
