It is very easy for him to do, when he has an an idiot in Tasmania who
forgot to change the feed for Avtech in his mail tosser. :-(

I think that it is quite possible that any one of the systems that handle
the Sydney to Hobart connections could have added things.

I'm surprised that Paul's system did not pick them up as duplicates.

I must plead guilty to the charge of "rooning" the system.
I changed from picking up Avtech from Paul to picking it up from Denise.
The problem was that I forgot to change the "send to" filed in
the mail tosser, with the consequence that all the Avtech messages I had
received from Teddy were forwarded to Paul.

I realised *something* was wrong when I saw Front Door sending large files
out to Paul.  I found the problem after a while, and have rectified the situation.

My apologies to anyone for any inconvenience that I caused them.

Could you please advise me what the sentence is for such a heinious crime.
Papal Excommunication.?
Other things too horrible to mention?

Apologies
Christian
