Just noticed that he's gone public on this. Previously he hadn't wanted it known for tactical reasons. But now he's outed himself we thought you should know what a decent chap he is.

I wonder where Cod is, she will swoon.

Cor, I bet you have a small shrine to him at MNHQ!

I wonder what the other side's legal bill was.

Good to see someone doing something decent.

It's good to see that there are people out there who realise how important it is for sites such as MN to exist

CarmenerryChristmas · 10/12/2007 19:13

A man of wit, intelligence, and excellent judgement as well as being a defender of morality and all that is right in the world of online publishing.

In fact I think we can safely say that he is the UK's foremost online media legal expert now

Freckle · 10/12/2007 20:00

Hmm. Pro bono isn't some sort of code word for payment in kind, is it?? Just think of the payment in kind he could get from thousands of grateful mners - who are already drooling over his locks .

Seriously, top bloke.
