Hi Barbara

Then all I can say is that you will be sorely missed as I have always
appreciated your contributions and welcomed your help or suggestions.
It is most unfortunate that you feel it necessary to leave us.  In your
shoes, I wouldn't allow people to drive me away.

Subject: [talks-uk] Clarification and resolution

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
