Hi All, At the moment I am on annual leave and was enjoying it up to this morning as I feel I work hard and deserve it. What I don't feel I deserve is to have complaints sent to me privately regarding other peoples inconsiderate responses to the list here. I have had to monitor this list all week and only Loretta is back I might as well not have left it for a moment. This morning I received a private complaint which was something I did not want as it almost bordered on telling me to sort my list and its members out. I can well do without this hassle. This centered around two people and while I can understand the offence caused I will apologise for this offence on the other persons behalf. On the other hand the person who instigated the offensive email, you know who you are and will be removed if anymore of this kind of thing occurs. If all that fails then for to keep the list on-topic I will remove both persons involved if I have any more problems. People joined this list not to have all sorts of wise comments made nor to have legalities dished out. I offer this service purely voluntary at my own time and do not wish to get into any difficulties nor bring the list into any personal debates. I personally have enough going on in my life without having to deal with such matters. Also if people are corrosponding between each other privately about issues discussed here on the list, it is not the lists business. Read the rules and keep your issues on what its all about here.
