Dear List With regard to my previous reply, I would like to take this opportunity to apologise for leaving out the word "list" in my request to the EFDSS library for help with the research on Jimmy Allen.
Possibly I should have said that, "members of the NPS on the NSP list are discussing sources for Jimmy Allen", if that helps. I could, had I realised this was a time bomb, just said, "I wanted to know OR please help ME", as a member of EFDSS instead. I didn't think the librarian would be distressed either way. Of course, I had not at that stage considered copying their reply to all of you, which is perhaps the real lesson. Regards Alan Corkett Member NPS & NSP list & EFDSS. -----Original Message----- From: Barry Say [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 16 January 2009 06:34 To: NSP LIST Subject: [NSP] The NSPlist and the NPS Along with the rest of the list I received Alan Corkett's last message and I will respond to the details later but there is one point I feel I must raise lest a false impression is given. I have been a member of this list for many years and I do not consider that my election as Magazine editor should have any effect on my contributions. The only problem I found was that having received Chris Ormston's and Anthony Robb's articles (in particular), I couldnt discuss any matters that they addressed least I steal their thunder before publication. The NPS magazine is now in the public domain, so its contents are up for discussion. I have always been very conscious that this list is independent and has no relationship with the Northumbrian Pipers' Society. I try to bear in mind that messages to this list very likely go to pipers who are not NPS members (for whatever reason). When I write to this list I do so on my own behalf unless I explicitly say otherwise.
