Andrew and I take this opportunity to thank all those list members who are
sending in their support for the way the LIST is run. Your support is most
warming. Many replies have been sent to the list and Andrew and I personally.
It appears Mr. Hides (Wildgrove) insists on replying to e-mails via the
LIST, and without drastic action we can't stop him (anyone can send to an
E-mail address). It is very obvious that at least one of our list members
(a spy in my book) is forwarding our E-mail to Gordon. This is undesirable
and most unfortunate. I might add that Gordon brought this on himself. In
my opinion, I don't want Gordon to have anything to do with the list, he had
his chance and blew it. (Thats for those who may say so what!) ;-)
The only course of action that I am *considering* taking is: To vet all
e-mail *before* it is posted on the LIST. Yes I can do that if he
continues. The upshot wil be that all communication *will* be slowed down
by at least a couple of days (or however long it takes).
I will not ask Andrew to assist me in this task as he is busy enough.
Now this will be the only E-mail that we don't mind the SPY sending Gordon. :-)
Those who disaprove of this correspondence and course of action may leave
now if they like. :-( :-( :-(
