Sandy I ve paid the price of semi retirement it seems content to tend my own uncontroversial articles in the walled garden I d built I didn t see until too late the shit you and FAC have gone through these last few weeks and months and which I ve just spent the last couple of evenings wading through with an increasing disheartenment I m tempted to let vindicate my decision to leave I can t say my input would have made any difference even if I d chosen to give it but I shouldn t have let my disillusionment with the project blind me to what was happening to those still attempting to make a difference Anyway words are the easiest shit I ll ever take and I m sure you ve had more than enough of that you know what an influence you ve been without my having to join in with the general eulogising All the best T C
