I was watching this event today, and Peter let it be known that an engine had been accused of being a clone, and there would be an investigation. Of course Hyatt was there putting in his 2 cents worth. We don't know yet what engine, but let's hope the investigation is carried out properly without any speculation, wild guesses, assumptions and faked or made-up evidence.

Bugger all these clone accusations. Just makes me feel like testing everything, including the Ippos. Now that's really saying something!

Aside from which engine was accused, it would also be interesting to know who was looking at the source...

Yep. That is only the start, Bob said there would be a number of revelations in the near future about more dirty engines

It is really tempting to spite them and test all the stuff they say are clones.

"Peter let it be known that an engine had been accused of being a clone"

Did Peter accuse someone or is he just passing information about someone else accusing, this is all vague.

He had received a complaint. Neither party was named, which is the correct way to handle such a situation.

Hear hear!  It WAS refreshing to see a situation like that handled with professionalism, tact, restraint and class. 

+10 to Peter!
