Thanks for your not so cordial welcome.Lets hope things proceed on a better footing.
From what i read they did not approve of his joke,but i saw no evidence of bad mouthing him like you have carried out. I must say i am surprised at this sort of nonsense coming from a so called moderator.
I might well ask who you are Dave and what motivation you had for bad mouthing people?
I have amended the error on my e-mail details.
I have only been offline since 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, but it seems that everyone has been extraordinarily busy during this time.
I come back this morning to see 48 new posts - including 6 new threads - which must be some sort of a record for only half of a weekend !
My sincere thanks to everyone who contributed so much yesterday, especially Dave, Rashmi and Nadz.
leighvamessage, I am sorry that you felt that you did not get a warm welcome yesterday. I can well understand that. From Dave's point of view you arrived from nowhere, tried to register a nonexistent email address, and left a solitary hostile post. I might well have wondered what your game was if I had been here myself.
But today is the start of a new week, so let's begin a new chapter together. Thank you for changing your email address: I am glad to see that nothing has come back as undeliverable this time.
The issues of what was said on telecomforum are now out of our reach to check, as the axe has been wielded again, and nothing remains to be seen.
One can question the suitability of Dave's comments, as you have done, but I can assure you that what he did say, whether wisely or not, is something which I can personally vouch for regarding its authenticity and accuracy.
Knowing Dave as well as I do, I can assure everyone that he feels a fatherly interest in all our members here, and I fully accept that he was motivated by a desire to offer support to Rashmi when she came under attack. She herself obviously took it that way, for which I am grateful. Although I have no record of the deleted thread, I do remember the hostile reception to her 'bit of fun' from at least 3 members, one of whom I do not know, and Malcolm and petkow whom I do.
You said: "Lets hope things proceed on a better footing." Please let me second that. I should like to give you a belated warm greeting, and to invite you to contribute positively to our small but active community. I shall look forward to reading what you have to say once we put these opening difficulties behind us.
My greetings.
