IANAL but it does not look like a spoof to me. Hugh has used the correct
wording for the formal retraction that is necessary to obviate a case of
defamation.

I think Mr Peter Farrell is well within his rights. He has a commercial
business and his livelihood to protect. I can cope with unjust wars,
corruption in government and proprietary software but if somebody or
some government agency attacks my livelihood I will come out swinging.

Whether insisting on a formal public retraction is beneficial for
growing the AMH market is perhaps a more interesting question. Payment
by installment is used for thousands of products by millions of
Australians. However, like Thinus, it is not a model that appeals to me.
In any event I probably should disqualify myself from commenting since I
do not believe in paying for general medical information. That's a
concept from the last millennium.
