John, thanks. I never really felt attacked more challenged, which is fine by
me and I have no complaints. We all learn under those circumstances at least
I am sure I do. Makes me understand my own position clearer I find. I was
sorry that James felt so slighted that he felt he should leave I remember
you said some time back that you had some other site that would require more
of your time and that you were looking for someone to run Worm and moderate.
Christine , I know , compiles Worm and I wondered who was moderating hence
my question.
I am retired and have plenty of time and if it is agreeable with everyone
else I would cheerfully co-moderate what I consider to be a supportive,
civilised and knowledgeable list and long may it remain so. Regards Arthur.
