Thanks Andrew for your input. I have already apologized publicly and quickly to Mark. And yes, I agree with your point that it seems too easy for others to now feel compelled to 'gang up' on me - like I dont feel bad enough already for my input.
Heres a thought, perhaps if some of those coming out of the woodwork to kick me might consider becoming more active contributors themselves in a positive fashion as I (current situation excepted) usually try to be then they could massage their egos that way.
Me, it seems that people just like to kick me because they CAN!
Heres another thought, yes, I apologized but what is now happening to me could be contextualized as cyber-bullying - isnt this what we teach to our kids NOT TO DO! So now who are the bad examples...
Now hows that for making this subject related!
Has anyone ever tried poking an angry attack dog with a stick??? JUST KEEP POKING!!! GRRRRRRR
There are legal actions that I can take if necessary for those who wish to take it further. Has anyone heard of 'slander' and 'defamation of character' just to mention 2. I hate being bullied when all I want to do is get on with my job then go home and cark it on the couch, devour some chocolate, and think of other things!
Mark, if you wish to personally kick me, feel free to do so on my email address below and I will wear it coz it happened.
SO TO ALL AND SUNDRY ONLOOKERS AND HANGERS ON(accessories after the fact), ITS TIME TO MOVE ON..NOW!
If you think writing this is/was easy then you are very mistaken!

Subject: [Year 12 IT Apps] Where is our moderator?
Where is Kevork ? We need you to inject a dose of your reasonableness and quash the thread
Kent used all caps, ok, Mark got upset, ok, Mark emailed Kent - forgot to do it off list, ok
Is there any need for heaps of emails?
There is no-one on this list who does not respect the effort put in by everyone who actually sends an email to the list, let alone contributes.
Mark and Keith would have to be the most prolific contributors.
I know when I used to teach the subject that I used a lot of their ideas and was very grateful.
Perhaps we all realize that and we can let the matter drop.
No doubt Kent and Mark can communicate off the list and the rest of us do not really need to be involved. If you want to send Mark an email of support then do it off the list. Personalised messages are always nicer anyway.

The 'just posted' comment from Bill Turner is better at expressing the point I was making so please, the rest of you, POINT MADE and I feel lousy about it already so enough.
I do agree that mark does a ship load of good in this subject and I am the last to make negative comments about him and his efforts.

Hi Bill.
My point was that I have NO commercial interest in Greg Bowden's
resources. I just think it's a jolly good teaching tool.
And the stuff in which I _do_ have a commercial interest I would never
flog in this venue.
