Hi Tim,
You see I am not replying to list even now!
I do participate every now and again but on the whole I am guilty of
being in the silent minority!
My main role at work is as an academic advisor working for a Students
Union ( I help students appeal their exam results and make complaints
etc). I occasionally help students with SAR's. I also advise students
on their data storage and use for my own service area. I have found this
list very useful because the regular participants have expert knowledge
and there are some interesting thought provoking issues raised but in
the main I am very sure any contribution I could make would not be very
interesting or useful in furthering anyone's knowledge of data protection.
However ....if this was the plagiarism list..... you would be fed up
hearing from me!
Regards
Margarita
