It is for this exact reason I've kept quite today! firstly, making sure that what I felt is correct and the best approach, clearly some disagree with me, I did expect this as after all we are all Human and we do think differently! So I'm a sponge for information and I've had a few emails directed at me offering their thoughts/advice towards my conduct over the last few days. I'm not aiming for an "ego trip" or the keys to the asylum! I just want something to start working with, So I'd like the IRC meeting to be treated as a "Brainstorm" not a this is what "I" want thing. We need to establish the goals of what/who we are to be before we can decide how take on the task. I totally agree that /Ego's/Anger/Whatever/ have no future place in this type of discussion... As I used to say to the people I managed there's no I in TEAM ;) Scott Evans VK7HSE Phone: +61362291658 Mobile: +61417586157 Skype: vk7hse [email protected] http://www.vk7hse.hobby-site.org PGP/GPG Key ID 2B8CA152
