Wow, Peter - one of these alleged incidents happened last week....barely enough time to start an investigation. Give the man a little time before you speculate on his effectiveness. Feet to the fire: good. Speculation of guilt (or innocence) before all the facts have been heard: bad. Verdict on long-term effectiveness: premature. David Brauer Kingfield REMINDERS: 1.
