Now that's integrity in a nutshell! I'd publicly like to be nice to James and thank him for being a staunch supporter all the while, and for any contributions he and his associates have made to my campaign. The list is a far better thing for having had you on it love. My words rang a few bells wrongly here and I feel like that's a shame. I was actually looking to inspire a few remarks and a bit of interesting conversation on the matter, not to hurt anyone's feelings. I hoped to learn something about the essence and substance of some of the people on the list, perhaps I hoped for more than is on tap. It's always been a personal philosophy of mine that you can't get from somone what they haven't got within themself to offer you- and so it goes. Those of you who took it as a personal stab, and mailed me privately to whinge on about it (you know who you are) *cough* I forgive you all, and I make no apologies. Hopefully our good B & S don't yeild themselves to the mighty £ note, and start making t-shirts and t-mugs that bear their cartoony likenesses just to make money so that they might secure a future as recording artists. What a broken hearts club it will be then. I've always had my worries about the sense of community on this list (particularly in comparison to others), I now realise that community is essentially a state of mind. There's a certain freedom in curiosity that can't be falsely conjured- any attempt is futile.Is it possible some people type just for attention or to see their own name in print? I think it's best to keep in mind that being smitten isn't clever or cute in print or life. Loving a thing is stronger and actually requires a personal investment. I will now follow the honourable gentlman's lead and hope that he'll hold the door wide open for me to leave.
