Sorry chap not being funny with you but your wrong. Kerry clearly states at the beginning of the Heather / Ben audio, as a footnote, that she conducted the interview in November 09. She then states the upload date of the audio as 6th April 10.
R=C, Thanks for clarifying the time line. It is useful. As I understand it the skype audio Kerry published, was their first ever live conversation. I don't think that when it was conducted, it was considered as THE interview, or was meant to be published as is.
I don't know that for sure, but it is how I understand it.
Now that we have more of an idea who Ben is, and I don't mean the identity as of ID, but as of who he is and what makes him tick, it is not hard to imagine that he may have changed his mind about having his real name used, possibly even 5 minutes after the interview, in fact this is a common thing with WB - they are usually scared of coming out and may changed their mind many times.
I can share with you that in the beginning of Feb, when the XXXX hit the fan on this issue, it happened over a live and highly vocal Skype conversation between K&B right here in my living room! So when I say I know, I do!
One thing was clear at that point in time, Ben definitely did not want to go public and was not talking to Bill but only to Kerry! Bill was out of the picture for some time in terms of direct communication with Ben and was compromising Ben, (unknowingly I should mention) by communicating with others about him.
So despite the fact that Ben said he didn't mind being indentified in his first chat with Kerry in Nov, does not actually mean he did not change his mind between Nov to Feb.
It is not all as simple as we would like it to be, unfortunately...
As I said before, the heather material is only part of it. In fact it would be fair to say that had their relationship was what you would expect from working partners, this would be a none story. And I am being generous here!
