Hi all, I've added Arthur as a 'co-owner' to the list header which will
allow him access to all the commands. Christina was added when she took on
the compiling role of Worm. So this list now has, in alphabetical, Carley,
Fletcher and Seeley as 'moderators'.
Hey, I wonder if we can kick each other off! J

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.
