Dear All
I am off to Crete on Saturday (10th December) to seek work and property. I
may be gone for a while (perhaps forever).
Thanks to you all for the discussion, queries, arguments, posers, questions
and humour we have shared over the years. Thanks especially to anyone who
has said they learned something during the discussions and anyone who
violently disagreed with anything I said.
Some things were said in jest, others in mischief, but in general I gave
honestly-held beliefs in answer to the serious questions. I have been wrong
on occasion, and a few helpful people have prevented me from straying too
far from the path. Thank you.
Thanks also to Sally for hosting such an interesting and lively board.
Thanks to the people who only occasionally pushed their heads above the
parapet of erudite comment to air their views - otherwise we would be
witnessing a two-way conversation between two protagonists who shall remain
nameless.
Very special thanks to anyone who bought my services on behalf of their
employer. I hope your managers and staff felt they got their money's worth.
If not, a refund is available from HM Inspector of Taxes who seemed to get a
large chunk of my income.
So in the words of the immortal god himself: So long and thanks for all the
fish.
I will be able to read any responses to this email, so be careful what you
say until I cancel my membership of the board, Sally will let you know when
the coast is clear.

it to your grandmother.
