As the alleged blower of said smoke, I don't even know how to respond to that comment to be honest. The implication that I am a PR mouthpiece or a marketing droid is a little...um....unpleasant to me. But that's ok, I am a big boy and I'll live with hurt feelings

But here's the thing I don't understand -- if I had answered that question with a simple "No comment on future plans" (as is the traditional answer)t then I (and my employer) get flamed for not being open enough or communicative enough about our products.

I gave the most honest answer I knew to give, but if you want to apply your filter of cynicism to it, fair enough, you're more than welcome to. I just want to make clear that it really was an honest answer and not meant to mislead or be deceptive in any way.
