I wasn't being serious about the messenger, it's a saying “Don't shoot the messenger.” I've had a little contact with Steve Kurth, but I never claimed to be the official voice of ‘the one true artist’.
I was simply saying that you shouldn't set your hopes on any more artwork, as they might have sold the ones they were willing to sell, artists and writers keep some of their work either for their personal collections or as something for their families to keep and remember them by. Putting me in my place would be appropriate if I'd made outrageous claims or shouted you down, I don't believe I've done either.
You've been in contact with Serge? Good for you, but it doesn't give you thr right to act like a child who's been refused sweets. I didn't want to go out and have an argument with you, but you've blow this way out of proportion.
