I am a sort of journalist, but it does not rule my life, I can give it up an time I want to. Honest. As well as being an advisor and trainer on DPA matters, often contributing to discussions on this list, I also produce a monthly newsletter (no plug intended) and I admit that sometimes list members point me in the direction of a relevant news story. I would classify anyone contributing to newsletters (web based or hard copy) as a journalist and so would expect a few more confessions in the next few hours - you know who you are :-) If a decision is taken to remove us from the list, some people would miss our wit, levity, pedantry, sarcasm and occasional erudite observation.
