[Hpr] Apologies to the Linux Inlaws

[Kevin O'Brien]

I think you are misstating the issue at hand. I don't think anyone had
any problem with the content, or at least I haven't heard anyone make
that claim. If Chris and Martin had recorded exactly the same shows as
simply members of the HPR community and not branding them as a
separate podcast I think that would have been welcome from day one.

This is of course just my personal opinion, and anyone is free to disagree.

Regards,
