I am grateful for all the messages of support I received, both here and by e-mail. I am going to a standards meeting all next week, so I shall almost certainly be out of communication anyway, irrespective of whether, on further consideration, I change my decision. Meanwhile, Bill Shakespeare put my thoughts into the mouth of Marcus Cassius, during his spat with Brutus before the Battle of Phillipi: 'Checked like a bondman: all his faults observed Set in a notebook, learned and conn'd by rote To cast into my teeth.' I have previously posted the following to this group: QUOTE However, I place on record that I NEVER intend any offence, especially on this mail list, whatever you may infer from what I write. UNQUOTE It is strange, indeed, that one can post wildly inaccurate, even dangerous, information here with impunity, but you are not allowed to post 'Stuff and nonsense!' or words to that effect. Incidentally, did Bill invent, in the rhetoric of Cassius and Mark Antony, the concept of 'spin-doctoring'? -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk After swimming across the Hellespont, I felt like a Hero. ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
