We're fine. We're all fine here now, thank you. How are you?"

A sweet wine made from grapes that have been left to freeze on the vines. They are pressed while still frozen so that the grape sugar and acid remain intensely concentrated.
Very sweet, very good and very expensive wine. Only about 15% of a crop can be "Ice" Wine (at least in Germany).
"If we don't attack them, they will attack us first. So we'd better retaliate before they have a chance to strike"
regions of Germany in the mid-1700s, Icewine is ideally suited to the
Niagara peninsula and the Okanagan Valley's climatic conditions.
Grapes are left on the vine well into the winter months.
The resulting freezing and thawing of the grapes dehydrates the
fruit, and concentrates the sugars, acids, and extracts in the berries,
thereby intensifying the flavours and adding complexity to the wine
made from it.
Genuine icewine must follow VQA
(Vintners Quality Alliance) regulations that prohibit any artificial
freezing of grapes. The grapes are painstakingly picked by hand
in their natural frozen state, ideally at temperatures of -10 to
-13 degrees C -- sometimes the picking must be done at night to
take advantage of the temperature. Yields are very low, often as
little as 5-10 percent of normal.
The frozen grapes are pressed in the extreme cold. The water in
the juice remains frozen as ice crystals, and only a few drops of
sweet concentrated juice is obtained. This juice is then fermented
very slowly for several months, stopping naturally.
The finished icewine is intensely sweet and flavorful in the initial
mouth sensation. The balance is achieved by the acidity, which gives
a clean, dry finish. The nose of icewine recalls lychee nuts. The
wine tastes of tropical fruits, with shadings of peach nectar and
mango.
Icewine is winter's gift to the wine lover: one of the best-kept
secrets of the wine world that garners gold medals in virtually
every competition in which it is entered.
The greatest of international accolade for Canadian Icewine was
bestowed on Inniskillin 1989 Icewine at Vinexpo, Bordeaux, in June
1991. This wine, judged by an international panel, was accorded
the fair's highest award, Le Grand Prix d'Honneur.

No - he hasn't been fired, he's going to spend more time with his family after a mutual decision between himslef and 200,000 irate gamers
No - we can't find anyone who wants the position
No- I can't answer or direct you to someone who can cos I'm scared shitless about getting fired too.
[edit] Actually, upon further pondering, that's only three "No's" to four questions. Did he fail to answer the first question, or the last?

Shayde, just a thought.
Would it not have been better to ask if: "Was John Smedley fired or has he left his previous position in any capacity?"
Just to kinda cover up your bases, as it stands now, they could still announce he left, just not fired, keeping in line with his reply to you. Perhaps, you can ask for some clarification on the matter?
Important Information regarding Posting and You
Wasn't there a similar rumor going around some time in March?
Eitherway, I'd argue it'd take a lot more than firing Smed to right that sinking ship.

Oh, cruel fate, to be thusly boned. Ask not for whom the bone bones. It bones for thee.

I followed it up with just that response (worded my way of course). I said using the word 'fired" was a semantic sticking point. Will update further.
