[Year 12 IT Apps] IT apps study design

[Mark KELLY]

Speaking as ITA list moderator:

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.

Such comments will only sour the relationships on this list and discourage
anyone new who was unsure about the safety of posting here.

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.

Regards
Mark
