You're more than welcome. You've earned it.
But I don't think those were Sony's words. I got the impression those were ebooks.com's words. Stephen Cole, CEO of ebooks.com wrote:

I've copied below a statement that we publish concerning this issue that might clarify things.

It
was a crappy thing to say, and crappier still to say it here, in front of an audience that knows better. Personally, I think two apologies are in order: One for taking a swipe at one heck of a lot of small publishers and independent authors, and another for insulting the intelligence of MobileRead's participants.
The only part that looks like it
might have come from Sony is this:
"is currently the only store where you can purchase books for your Sony Reader". It's wrong, but it could also a year old. Who knows?
If Stephen Cole would like to clarify things, so much the better. If not, I've certainly learned where
not to buy e-books.
