Matt Blumberg Apologizes

Ted Leonsis, AOL's legendary Vice Chairman, has started blogging.

One of his first public posts includes statements that are music to my ears:

We did [CertifiedEmail] because we compared the various options, and Goodmail had the best system to reduce spam while increasing the value of e-mail for businesses. If you listen closely, however, you'll hear the sound of a lot of sour grapes being squashed by Goodmail's competitors. They didn't like our decision to go with another company, but we think you will.

It is almost as gratifying to read Return Path's Matt Blumberg's comment ending with:

We have no sour grapes... bla-bla-bla, I apologize for any misunderstanding around our comments on this topic.
Matt Blumberg Chairman & CEO Return Path, Inc.
