Rod, quoting a message on 09/12/93, from you to Phillip Dunne:

  >PD> I thought his reply to Paul was suss, once he was fingered, I
  >PD> would  expect a better explanation.

  RS> Yeah, I agree, looked a bit odd.

  >PD> Remember,  this is the same person who feels free to stir the
  >PD> pot by  cross-posting personal netmail.

  RS> True, and a very striking contrast to what the echo rules

  RS> funniest examples of 'do as I say, not do as I do' I have seen

  You would have to be blind not to see that Bill has a bee in his bonnet
about both you and Bob L.  I noticed he spent some tutoring Tony Nugent
in the fine art of care and feeding of twit-lists, if he took his own
advice there would be a lot less friction in AvTech.

  >PD>  What difference would it make if he named names?

  RS> True. OTOH I havent actually caught him out in an outright lie,
  RS> just some extremely selective interpretation of events |-)

  >RS> Personally I would have told the objector to drop dead when

  >RS> government  ministers.

  >PD>  [assuming Bill was heavied by a fido-god]

  >PD> Exactly, by rolling over and playing dead Bill has done AvTech
  >PD> a disservice.  He may as well get the FG to go over the echo
  >PD> rules and  make any other changes he feels necessary.

  RS> I think he is one of those who basically doesnt like norty

  RS> I wouldnt be a bit surprised if it was Dave Drummond myself on
  RS> further reflection,

  I dismissed DD as a candidate because I thought it likely he would raise
it in the echo first.  It would also make Bill G's actions as bad as
anything Trev R has been accused of doing.

  RS> He had a real blood on the floor run in with Paul Marwick a while
  RS> back too.

  Brisbug seems to be a real vipers nest, apart from Marwick (hard to guess
how much blame should go where) there was also that business with that US
sharewre author (TLB). 

  Phil.
