Doug/Mollers, is there a username associated with the messages you recieved? If the sender has something they would like to share with the wider community we would I am sure be interested to give him/her a fair hearing.
It appears that Andrew Bond was the man behind Metcheck:

Therefore if their are other owners, and Andrew is no longer part of the picture I am surprised that they have not made any public statement to that effect at the time or indeed now (and that the above page is still live on their site). Especially since this is not the only site that highlighted the connection.
