Dear Bonnie, John and Simon. Congratulations and thanks for your action in producing 'SPARKLE'. I must confess that I have been feeling a little guilty because, just at the time that the latest argument blew up, I posted what was (for me) a decidedly bitter message directed at those people who were making my life so difficult. I had been working away for a couple of days, and was blissfully unaware of the undercurrents bubbling away. However, with the introduction of Sparkle, I think that you have made a positive and helpful move, and if I did inadvertantly contribute to its inception, I can live with that. Now we had better ensure that the PIE keeps going: Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater! (Oh dear - was that a joke?) Regards, -- Brian Collins <[log in to unmask]>
