Wow! You really like to quote this don't you?
Where did you cut and paste it from?

Only reason I quote it is because it is relevant to this discussion. Mind telling me how it is NOT relevant to the whole crux of this matter.

What this one line is stating is that NO contract was formed. The issue of whether or not a contract has been formed is what this is about. So, in this circumstance, I feel it is totally relevant.

You'd be better off fighting a case you have a chance of winning. If you want to go down this route get a 1/2 hour free from some solicitor who understands contract law.
