I vote for Barbra to stay on the list and will be very disappointed if she leaves the list. She gives us excelslent advice on Talks and that is what we are here for. We are not worried about people and their trickey dealings.

Okay folks. Sorry I have been away all day and only able now to post. I am sorry for the bulk of Emails this issue has generated for people. I want to clarify my position.I purchased a Nokia E50 from Anna Byrne. Anna Burne, for reasons I did not question, asked for the cheque to be made out to M B Littler. At no time did Anna Byrne say she was M B Littler and at no time did Anna Byrne imply that the phone belonged to M B Littler. Neither did she inform me that M B Littler was Bridie Littler. Perhaps I should have sought clarification on this at the time, but I simply assumed that Anna Byrne, for reasons which were her own business, wanted someone else to cash the cheque on her behalf. With over a year's further experience under my belt, I believe I should have sought clarification on who actually owned the phone and that is certainly what I would do today. But you will read from the Emails forwarded by Barry that my dealings were with Anna Byrne, and that indeed the Email was signed Anna, followed by AB. At no time were they signed by either M B Littler or Bridie Littler.I am sure a legal mind could argue about the recipient of the cheque being the person I entered into a deal with, but I am not a lawyer and don't claim to have that sort of knowledge.In addition, while I remember Bridie ringing me to inquire about how to purchase an upgrade, I certainly don't remember refering to a previous purchase from her. I also pose the question, if Bridie believed I used her upgrade without her knowledge or permission, then why did she ring me to ask about upgrades and not another seller? The records of my orders placed with the dealer from whom I purchased TALKS at the time do not show this upgrade as having been used. So whoever used it, it most definitely wasn't me.Had Bridie and Barry at the time of making their allegations mentioned that the phone in question was purchased from Anna Byrne, then my records would have confirmed this. But they both clearly stated that the phone I purchased was from Bridie Littler.However, I continue to refute the allegation that I used the upgrade allowance remaining on that phone. I have never purchased a second-hand phone on which there was a TALKS upgrade remaining. If I had, I would refer it back to the previous owner of the phone who is still the legal owner of the TALKS license.I leave it up to list members to draw their own conclusions. I am not asking for anyone to come on the list and either support or denounce me. This is not what this list is for. This has always been a useful and friendly list and I apologise to all list members if I have, albeit inadvertently, spoiled it even for a short space of time.Both Bridie and Barry take issue that while they were removed from the list, I was allowed to remain. While at no time admitting any wrong-doing, I am asking the moderator to unsubscribe me from this list. I am doing this to prevent further annoyance and inconvenience to other list members. If I am no longer a list member, then perhaps these people will cease to bombard members with Emails.I will add also that during this whole affair, Barry Hughes has refused to allow Bridie and myself the time and privacy to sort this matter out between ourselves. Because of some confusion, this whole thing has spiralled out of control and mainly because one man would not allow it to be sorted out between two people.Once again I am sorry for any nuisance this has caused list members. I am greatful for all the messages of support I have received, but I believe it best for the list if I leave until others decide to let this whole issue rest.Kind Regards Find me on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/barkingbabs Barbara Wilson M: 07917710779 T: 02887784046 E: barkingbabs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx IM: creativeeyes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Skype: creativeeyes
