Feeble excuse: Up all night editing photos after leaving 'Masquerade Ball'
 venue at 2am. Minimal sleep subsequently  ie no excuse at all.

1. I meant to post that to PICList admin. Because of the way some messages
are received this entails a manual address entry. I guess autocomplete or
stupidity beat me. I thought I learned that lesson. My genuine apologies an=
y
negatively affected by this. 'You're welcome' s to any positively affected.
There *should* be > 0 of these.

2.
THIS THREAD IS CLOSED.
ANY THREAD RELATING TO THE RESTAURANT INCIDENT IS CLOSED.
ANY TIGHTLY COUPLED OR, perhaps, SOMEWHAT COUPLED MATERIAL IS DEEMED
INAPPROPRIATE AND  WILL BE TREATED ACCORDINGLY.

The above is because my stupid mistake has been used by SW as an 'excuse' t=
o
add more material which is inflammatory in the context given Bob's previous
comments.
I may or may not agree with Bob or anyone else on any given occasion BUT
using my mistakes as a means of bypassing a not unreasonable request
(purposefully or otherwise) is unacceptable.

I love SW, but incidents like these make be want to bang his heads* (gently=
)
together. [* Zaphod Beeblebrox image comes to mind].



3. REPLYING  TO point 2. above ONLIST IS A REALLY BAD IDEA. PLEASE DON'T.

This is to damp down what otherwise can easily gain an unnecessary life of
its own.

By all means regale me at any length offlist. I'm happy to listen to any
points made any anyone is welcome to criticise my approach to this - but
please do so offlist.

4. DO NOT REPLY TO THIS ON LIST.
Discussion by any offlist is welcome.

The original series of 3 posts felt to me like very heavy trolling with the
aim of getting strong response.
I'd not have considered it was necessarily unacceptable as an OT post BUT i=
t
was very very marginal because of the firestorm that the discussion of the
underlying aspects would almost certainly have caused.

5. IF ANYONE WRITES TO ME OFFLIST ON THIS I WILL COPY YOUR POSTS OFFLIST TO
ANYONE ELSE WHO ALSO WRITES unless you ask me not to. This will have the
effect of creating a temporary offlist list on this subject
