OK, thanks. I understand you are reserving final judgment until all the facts are in. From what I read here the government will conduct an investigation. It will be interesting to see what they come up with and if anyone is punished for dereliction of duty. Another question. Is there any media in the U.K. that you trust? ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/ moq_discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
