Now, now kiddies, if you're not careful it will become a mediated list! Please find attached my Friday off-list response to Louise's original question. I have had a useful followup conversation with her, she may tell you all about it sometime. - B -----Original Message----- From: Kirkham, Andy (DSD) [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 09 December 2004 09:56 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Forum relevancy Aah the moral high ground, we've finally found it. Are we talking about archaeology now, is that the relevant subject? (assuming we all know what it means). Look when I'm too busy or not in the mood for forum babble I just don't read the e-mails, an option which we all have I hope. Don't make me handle my dictionary again to define forum for you, it's had enough punishment already this week! Perhaps the forum mails should come with a relevancy warning, after all there has always been a wide range of subject matter. Is this viable or even relevant? I can already feel the communal hand reaching to cover my mouth, so if anyone reading this really finds it pointless or obnoxious just don't respond. Like a child I'll soon get bored (then I'll have to go back to e-mailing "Wake up with Wogan".
