You know, QUANTA is always prepared to listen to anyone with a serious 
proposition, it's just it's membership who don't seem to have that many 
propositions for us to listen to!! This is quite different to QUANTA never 
listening and when we have listened, we then decide our further actions if 
any.

We don't claim any praise for robbing Dilwyn from QLToday - after all, it 
was GW's suggestion and we are grateful for it. {:-))

Regards,

John Gilpin.

What a good opportunity to remind everyone what QL Today's attitude is:

"QL Today believes in healthy competition and we would like to see the 
Quanta committee set up a news service, both in print and on the web, to 
rival that of ours."

Editorial vol 11 issue 5 page 3

Quanta's members jeered at this suggestion at the Hove AGM, but Quanta's 
committee did not,

Best wishes,

Geoff

Hang on a moment. How can this be your suggestion if you hadn't thought 
of it. involuntary suggestion can be dangerous - keep taking the pills!

Don't worry I am already well known to those authorities. Many years ago I 
did a radio broadcast with the secretary of the Police Federation. He knew 
all about me before I had even arrived at the studio,

Actuallly Dilwyn's first act as News Editor was to find a nickname for 
private mailings to his QL Today rival. As it is in Welsh I can't be sure 
that it means what he said it does (and the English is not all that polite)

Best Wishes,

If Geoff thinks he has incriminating evidence on me, how about this:

Have a look at his Style Checker demo on disk 62 of the SJPD or The 
Library collections, where there seems to be instructions on making an 
at-omic bomb in a file called bomb_txt. Reference is made to about 50 
pounds of plut-onium, connections to terrorist cells and so on. In his 
defence, it does mention how to go about getting hold of that amount 
of the material and warns you that people are bound to notice that 
much of it going missing.

I always thought Geoff's terrorist activities were limited to 
sabotaging Quanta AGMs, but now I know better :o

(and just in case the security authorities have picked up on this 
email, I will gladly send a copy of the said file to you if you have 
time to waste reading it, it's only a tongue in cheek text!).
