Can I suggest to all parties that, as was the case last time this came up here, raking this conflict over the coals here on a mailing list where very few of us have direct knowledge of the situation, or the power to do anything about it in any case, is probably not helpful for anyone? I am especially uncomfortable at the notion of the discussion of people's HR records and personal lives in a public forum such as this.
