I find Mr Cowing's reaction despicable, and while I deplore your reaction, I
also understand very well why you took this decision.

I know NOT to visit the spaceref web site anymore, and hope many will stop
doing so from now on to deprive him of advertising revenus.

Had I been in Mr Cowan's shoes, I would have simply asked PRIVATELY that
Jacques add a line at the bottom to indicate the source was the spaceref web
site. That would have generated positive free publicity instead of now
generating very bad negative attitudes towards spaceref.
