Hi Dieve,

I'm new to the board, but I signed up here well before you did. The name being nearly the same as the EI moderator is an amusing coincidence, but not an intimidation tactic I assure you. I doubt you'd be intimidated by an anonymous poster on an Internet message board.

If you say you're independent, I guess I have to take you at your word. Though I'm sure you'll agree with me that it would make you a very rare case, especially with having worked in Ireland for as long as you have.

As to the allegations: well, you confirmed them. It's a controversial strategy, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks it, but if it works I'm sure you'll keep at it.

I did say it was a positive review when I linked it.

Thanks for your reply.
