hi there thanks for the advice the admin process seems to be venal however and there is clear nepotism going on and i don t really want to spend any more time on this the issue you raise re civility is important though yes i probably did go over the top in some of my comments a trifle brusque to quote basil fawlty but these comments were made in the heat of the moment in contrast the deceit and distortion shown by the editor called slimvirgin was clearly premeditated in cold blood as it were i d be happy to do some spadework for the collaboration project you mention let s touch base about this again next week cheers
