Many thanks to Mags for explaining the newsgroup dialogue and to grungernut for the context.
If VM hadn't been trying to scrape a relatively small support saving seemingly without evaluating the impact on users, they wouldn't have got themselves in this legal mess, so I hope the relevant staff can use Alex's (mis)post to their advantage.
But I guess the repercussions mean there's yet another reason for VM to not keep us informed of developments in the future.
Yet another VM foot-in-mouth moment...
