Dear colleagues, Some of the posts on this topic have become rather inflammatory, and in any event the discussion has drifted well away from the original subject matter. As listowner, I therefore propose that we end this thread here. If you wish to debate the rights and wrongs of the confrontation, I'm sure that there are plenty of other fora which are better-suited for such debate than int-boundaries. If you ever wish to leave the list you can do so at www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/int-boundaries.html. Alternatively, send an email to [log in to unmask] with no subject and the words "unsubscribe int-boundaries" as the only text of the message. However, most of the time the list correspondence is courteous, constructive and relevant to international boundaries, and I hope that anyone who has been offended by the occasional intemperate or irrelevant message will choose simply to delete the message in question rather than terminate your membership.
