Well ....!!! I've seen some ignorant posting on these lists this year, but this one really takes the biscuit. To publicly insult someone you don't know, whilst openly admitting you haven't got a clue who they are, is in my view, the height of discourtesy. More so when Dave's name is on most (if not all) FreeBMD pages, therefore easy to research. I think that it is to Dave's credit that he has not responded to your comments - if someone were to post defamatory comments about me on the internet, I'm not sure that I would have as much self-control. Cheers Dave, and keep up the good work ... most of us DO appreciate it!

Haven't completed many pages - I do as much as time allows. I've been tempted to write to the digest on a couple of occasions but am somewhat offput by the tone of some of the responses, particularly from this Dave Mayell character. I'm sure he is very important and busy guy, but a little courtesy costs nothing.
