Speaking as ITA list moderator:<br><br>Hi Adrian. I am disappointed that Roland's gentle request for information about the study design has been met by such an angry and unwarranted vitriolic attack.<br><br>Such comments will only sour the relationships on this list and discourage anyone new who was unsure about the safety of posting here.<br>
<br>As an experienced member of our community, you would surely have thought of addressing your personal feelings to Roland by private channels: I am sad that you did not follow that path.<br><br>Regards<br>Mark <br><br>

<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); font-size: 11pt;">Firstly,</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); font-size: 11pt;">As you pointed out if there was something that you wanted to add to the study design, you had your chance. Now is not the time to bring up any proposed additions or amendments.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); font-size: 11pt;">Mark, as always, thanks for providing the info for those who want to make a comparison of the old study versus the new. I would like to add that simply reading this summary is not really the way to come to grips with the study. Mark will have a good grasp of what is in the study and he has done this by reading it from cover to cover which I strongly encourage all of you to do. A summary is great but does not substitute for a full reading and in order to implement the study you it is vital that we all come to terms with the key knowledge and key skills.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); font-size: 11pt;">Roland, I think your tone is out of order. As I member of the writing team for the study, I am insulted that you feel we dont have an idea of what cloud computing is and you imply that we didnt do our research which is far from the truth. Perhaps you should have a good read of the study design before making criticisms of this nature and then we can have an informed discussion rather than one that appears to be based on assumptions.</span></p>
