Exactly. I dunno about you, but where I come from, a "cover up" requires some. . . erm. . . covering up. Discussing policy and taking no action to hide an error despite at least one suggestion to do so is pretty much the exact opposite of that, as far as I can tell. And then you have the whole publically announcing the error bit. I mean, if publically announcing an error isn't the exact opposite of hiding it from the public, I'm not sure what is.

I call that the begining of an email conversation 39 days ago, that may have easily lasted a whole month.

That's the other thing. While the snippets of email may be damning when examined in a vaccuum, if one considers all of the other explanations and action taken (or not taken) the emails themselves prove almost nothing that Zachary claimed, past the fact that one guy (a staffer, not a judge) suggested policy be retroactively altered to hide an error that was, in fact, not hidden and, instead, publically announced in the end.

From what I gather, though I haven't seen an official statement, it was to the affect of "mailed cds didn't work so links were allowed in a few instances".

I actually believe that there was a quote to that effect in one of the supposedly damning emails, as well.

Zach ponied up the first set of emails pretty quickly, why not this set.

Yeah, I'm skeptical about the claims of death threats given that the first lot of email didn't contain what he claimed it did. Also, I'm under the impression that most of the people involved on the ENnies side of things wish that Zachary would go away and, therefore, seem very unlikely to have issued threats urging him to stir up even more drama.
