Dear all, I guess I should have known better than to open a can of worms and then have the audacity to take a day off!! I returned today ( Tuesday) to find my in-folder overflowing with opinions on this matter.
It is quite obvious that John's presence is treasured by quite a large percentage of the list. However, there has been noticeable shift in the tone of the messages addressing the issue in that there is some degree of casting the administrator as the villain of the peace here (contrary to the Hollywood norm which always has the English guy as the villain!). This is neither right nor fair (I am not talking about Hollywood anymore although it wouldn't do them any harm to take notes!!). It was certainly not the intention of my original posting and my appeal was to both John and the list admin. My apologies to the list administrator for this misunderstanding and unfortunate change in ethos. I think it best we leave the matter to John and the administrator to resolve. To this end, Chris Maxwell writes .. >> If there is any "peacemaking" to be done here, I suggest that >> John and the admin in question work it out off-line. Agreed. Chris adds... >> I suggest that if a third party get involved, that it also be off-line. >> (I suggest Tania. She'll straighten them out :-)) So ... what are you saying Chris .. Kofi Annan not good enough for you? But seriously, let us not point fingers and leave the gentlemen to work it out. The most we can do is appeal to John to reconsider HIS decision. Best regards everyone. - Chris ---------------------------------- Don't you just love the swooshing sound deadlines make as they go flying past! _____________________________________________________________________ This message has been checked for all known viruses by Star Internet delivered through the MessageLabs Virus Scanning Service.
