The way I took A1Q1 was that he almost as much as agreed with Wayne that his answers are not necessarily news worthy. He basically said "It's not up to me to decide whether or not what I have to say is news. That's up to the editors." In this case, Wayne qualifies as Editor-in-Chief of Amiga.org.
As to whether or not he knows some particular thing, I think it is far wiser—not to mention more humble—to beg off and make certain about an answer rather than spouting off and inserting foot A into mouth B.
