Thanks to the blog commentator who got back to me. It was, indeed, private.

The confusion arose because the sender did it as a blog comment and not as a direct private email to Owl.

For future reference to all – comments to the blog are assumed to be for publication. If a message is not intended for blog publication, please contact Owl direct on:

stating clearly ‘not for publication’. Your wishes will be respected.
