On the one hand I find this very amusing. When I spoke out in Council about
being against any name change I seem to remember that I was given a very
cold response by one and all. On the other hand, this sort of emailing
annoys me no end. Now, I will be very British [for those of you who know
me, I am exceeding American] and say that we have made a democratic decision
now let's just get on with and stop moaning and wasting everyone's time with
very trite emails.

That's fine Tony - I don't take it personally. As I said in a previous
[off-list] email, let's just go and have a few beers...

Subject: The name
The long old message I've just posted has brought it home more strongly
than I've realised before just how thoroughly I hate the name Cilip - hate
it with every fibre and sinew. Not to mention the daft, meaningless
post-nominals. And I speak as someone who was on Council when it was done
and voted it all through. Why, oh why, lord? How did we do it, and in
puce, too? Are we in any position to laugh at Consignia,
Accent-squiggle-ture and the rest?
Fortunately I have a large stock of business cards with FLA against my
name and with luck they will last me until we do the sensible thing and
dump the daftness.
Sorry Bob.
Tony McSean
