I ... I ... I think I love you

For what it's worth, in the future, before the usual suspects (and I was 
batting about 60% of my projected list  mentioned in a previous mail) 
dive in the moment they perceive some slight against the sanctity of the 
mailing list then please pause and wait to see if one of the list admins 
(we who lurk in a shadowy cabal controlling the Secret World Government) 
responds.

And when I say wait, I mean not just five minutes. London.pm has around 
700 members subscribed and that means that messages can take a while to 
get through. I mean a day. Or, if it's late on a Friday or over the 
weekend then maybe waiting until Monday around 11-ish.

Worst case scenario the list has to wait a maximum of 2 days to read 
your incisive yet cutting put down of some n00b. Best case scenario 
someone more measured comes along first and you don't embarass 
yourselves or us.
