I'll freely confess that my initial reaction Lawrence's post was somewhat wild, to put it mildly, as I was taken on the back foot by
it at an inopportune time, but I would stick by Rob's view that using Arni's illness to make a political point is somewhat, erm, not
quite right. I do find this distasteful to discuss and feel very dumb about having naively sidestepped the listowners, I just took
Richard's message at face value and never dreamt it would cause ructions.
Best to all

Excuse me if I'm wrong, but I don't *ever* remember Richard saying anything
like this.
Like dave, I find your attempt to turn Arni's illness into a political point
somewhat ...
... I wouldn't use the term "shameful", my term would be "obscene".
