Dear RGS-IBG EGRG list members
I am extremely SORRY for causing the following disturbance. In this message,
I have specifically put the EGRG listserver address in the Bcc column (so
that no reply to the server will be possible!).
Let me explain that the original message came from a student in China who
was interested in applying for postgraduate studies in NUS. But he sent the
PRIVATE message to the Listserver (with attachment too!). Then Margareta
from Birmingham replied (without looking at the email address to be sent! By
the way, I don't need another Ph.D!). Nick from UCL complained (legitimately
so)...
Let me state categorically that I definitely DO NOT wish to abuse the server
and this will be my last "private" message to be sent to all of you. Rest
assured, please DO NOT reply to any message from any listserver UNLESS you
have clearly seen to WHOM you are sending the message. Cheers to all of you
and hope an early summer is coming soon (since most of you are staying in
the UK).
Henry
From the tropical Singapore
