Sales records, contracts, and private e-mails have all been made public and directly disprove the claims made in Mr. McLelland's article.

Don't know that you've proven anything with that. Your “proof” shows a form rejection letter from Diamond that seems to speak for 3 different products (only one of which being Mr. Scootles).

Regarding the Sequart comment, I have discussed the error with both Mike Phillips and Julian Darius. They have both stated that the mistake was no big deal and does not concern them, but I do acknowldge that I did mistakenly refer to Phillips as owner instead of Editor.

I’ll judge your relationship with Sequart.com based on your dealings with Sequart.com…You’ve been nothing but helpful to my company, so that’s how I’m basing our relationship.”" I don't believe Mike Phillips owns Sequart. While he is the Editor in Chief, Julian Darius is the publisher and I think owner and founder. “In response to the general attacks on me personally, Mike Phillips, owner of comics site Sequart.com, a client of mine, has said: “Don’t worry about that, Mike.
