I haven't accused you of anything... I merely said I hoped it wasn't
you... if indeed it wasn't then you have nothing to worry about!
I can take a joke as well as the next man (or at least I hope I can!)
but the content of this email was very severe which I why I took it
very seriously.

you to jump to the wrong conclusion, which you did, be honest and re-read
your mail. I'll tell you what though, if Ng's start to become as tetchy as
this it won't be worth using them. They used to be fun but if they become
nasty and childish I shall just look elsewhere for a laugh. No hard feelings
though and I hope you find the real offendor.news:ri7kls8nl56viekro...@4ax.com...

Apologies if you took offence but I was not attempting to accuse you.
I started off by saying that I hope it wasn't a reference to the Email
I received... as it wasn't then this obviously doesn't apply. I also
said "If you are"... which you're not... so again, not applicable.
Normally we do have a laugh in here, but when things get taken too far
I can't help but treat them seriously. I'm afraid you have chosen to
appear at what is definately one of the low-points in this group. Sure
we have arguments, but we also have a laugh. Never before has it been
taken to the extent where people receive death threats through Email
though.
Give it some time for people to calm down and you'll see we can have a
good ol' laugh! :o)

real, I enjoy having fun but there is no way I want to become involved in
what you mention, sounds even serious enough for the law to me. I'll leave
for awhile and return at a later date. Bye for now.news:s4bklsg53n3gfq4ek...@4ax.com...
