T.W. Reply. Yes Tony, I mean you. You had sort of disappeared at that time,
and I didn`t want to enter into anything personal without you being able to
respond. You have said (not long ago) that you might be unsubscribing. No
personal offence aimed in your direction.

T.W. Reply. A defence against being accused of being rude to me, - i.e.

haste (acknowledged) need to point out how I believe I am being treated, in
this case, rudely, as I`ve said.

T.W. Reply. Wholly Agree.

T.W. Reply. I`ll keep you guessing on that one Tony - - - - -

T.W. Reply. I`m pleased - pals again then?
