message: "and started Demon off in the boiler room of a cinema with a borrowed £20,000".
HUH?
That sounds like a juxtaposition of the tales of Demon Systems and Demon Internet. Demon Systems came first, formed by Cliff Stanford, Owen Manderfield and Grahame Davies. Later on it was the springboard for Cliff to offer a CIX board that if 200 people stepped forward with a years advance subscription, he would provide a raw SLIP connection with full TCP/IP access and a static IP address using Demon Systems to provide the hardware and development muscle.
"boiler room of a cinema" sounds like the early venue for Demon Systems, but Demon Internet was in the back room of a former church hall.

message: I'm the Sylvia Spruck Wrigley referred to in the article. I'm not sure why that section was removed but the information was correct as it stood and I have reverted it. If this honestly requires a source (most family information doesn't appear to) then you can reference https://www.facebook.com/CliffStanford for relationship status.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by AkaSylvia (talk • contribs) 18:14, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

message: It came up again recently that I was convicted for "hacking" so I thought it was about time I put the record straight.  I've made that whole section clearer and added in some references. Cliff Stanford (talk) 22:34, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

message: I can find nothing to verify (and establish the importance of) the chess tournament. Unless such sourcing is found, it should be cut, in my opinion. Perhaps two of the editors kept clippings of the newspaper articles; that would be very helpful. (Do people still keep clippings?) Drmies (talk) 16:45, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

message: Here's a revised version of the Stanford/Porter issue for review, hopefully giving a bit more detail and clarifying the sequence of events. Comments much appreciated.
In 2002, Stanford and John Porter became embroiled in a boardroom fight and Porter forced Stanford from the board. Stanford employed Private Investigator George Liddell to investigate John Porter.   As a result, they discovered information about Dame Shirley Porter's finances  which was offered to Westminster Council. In May 2003 Liddell emailed Karen Buck, MP, saying "DSP's money is alive and well and running around London in the form of her son John Porter. We can show the money trail from him to her and we can certainly prove he acts on her behalf." The solicitor for Westminster Council stated that the freezing order on part of Dame Shirley Porter's assets was "obtained on the basis of both the Stanford/Liddell evidence and evidence from other sources". Stanford and Lidell discovered and exposed more than £34m of assets of Dame Shirley Porter. This resulted directly in her repaying £12m to Westminster Council.
