What we have to endure Steve is you ranting. If you look back through the list archives you will find that BOTH parties in the incident that has got under your collar apologised not just one. So why don't you just drop the whole matter like everyone else has done. I read this as a personal attack on Adrian because you don't agree with what he says, you are trying to get him silenced. I believe that the bit about driving people away from the list is a precursor to trying to get Adrian banned. Don't go there Steve its very dangerous territory. Julian
