Hey Brent,

I always have time for you & your e-mails.

I don't think the "precious whiners" comment was aimed at Jamie D 
personally, no.

I've had a look at the admin part of the main list, but I can't find where 
I could possibly delete any e-mails there though.

I've apologised to Jamie D about it privately, and I don't think there's 
any need for us to continue it any further, so I won't at the moment.

Thanks,

Jeremy Naylor
