I agree with Chris. Chris expressed my opinions better than I could have, and would have, if he hadn't gotten there first.
John's detailed responses have been very informative and educational. He must devote a good deal of time to this group. These efforts should be appreciated not deprecated. John's curt responses have been, for the most part - and in my opinion, well deserved. Sometimes a digital "smack upside the head" is OK. Sort of saying "Hulloo - is anybody home in there?" Perhaps the moderators, or policy members will explain just what the group's policies are? This is a very valuable resource, which I thought was working very well - due to the efforts of the administrators, policy folks, and all of the participants. Jack Jacob Z.

One also knows when to expect | responses on IT, Audio, Power, Automotive, Marine, Aerospace etc. | | I would therefore like to appeal to John and the administrator - and indeed to Kofi | Annan should he find time in his otherwise busy schedule, to try and work this | out for the sake of all of us. | | Thank you. | | - Chris | | | -----Original Message----- | From: John Woodgate [SMTP:j...@jmwa.demon.co.uk] | Sent: Thursday, November 15, 2001 9:07 PM | To: emc-p...@majordomo.ieee.org | Subject: My departure | | | As a result of representations from one of the administrators, which I | consider totally unjustified, I am leaving the group. | | I regret having to break contact with those that responded favourably | to my input. | | You are free to e-mail me if you wish. | -- | Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk | Eat mink and be dreary! | | ------------------------------------------- | This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety | Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list. | | Visit our web site at: http://www.ewh.ieee.org/soc/emcs/pstc/ | | To cancel your subscription, send mail to: | majord...@ieee.org | with the single line: | unsubscribe emc-pstc | | For help, send mail to the list administrators: | Michael Garretson: pstc_ad...@garretson.org | Dave Heald davehe...@mediaone.net | | For policy questions, send mail to: | Richard Nute: ri...@ieee.org | Jim Bacher: j.bac...@ieee.org | | All emc-pstc postings are archived and searchable on the web at: | No longer online until our new server is brought online and the old messages are imported into the new server. | | _________________________________________________________________ ____ | This message has been checked for all known viruses by Star Internet | delivered through the MessageLabs Virus Scanning Service.
