Dear Adele I would like to take advantage of ETNI to publicly apologise for inadvertently embarrassing you at the ETAI conference. I have the highest respect for you and trust you completely. There has been rather too much mud-slinging recently, and my actions were intended to protect you from possible accusations from people who don't know that your integrity would not allow you to be biassed. I admit that I phrased it very badly, but my intentions were good. I am truly sorry, Amanda ----------------------------------------------- ** Etni homepage - http://www.etni.org ** for help - ask@xxxxxxxx ** ** to post to this list - etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** -----------------------------------------------
