Perhaps if you had explained the basis of your claim when you made your snide comments about Cathy Stevenson, it would have saved a lot of trouble. People cannot be expected to test every site that shows up on the net - they are entitled to report their presence as was done in this case. She did not *recommend* the site as you claimed - her words were "You might want to check out several web sites related to older Macs". That's hardly a recommendation - it's simply a reference point. All you had to do was to note your observations about the site in a follow-up and in a civil manner, without the uncalled-for imputations about someone who is simply trying to be helpful.
