Throw bricks at forgetful people...
That is all.
Perhaps you weren't at the last board meeting, it was a reference to a comment made there. The forgetful person in question is me, the joke is entirely at my expense.
I see. So, everybody has be in the know...
You need to be in the know in order to get the joke, I see no need for everybody to get the joke.
This needs to stop.
Gordon : He was joking and meant no harm by the comment. Thomas: When you post to a public list you need to be a little bit careful what you say.
OK?

That's the approach I take, as well, I guess I sometimes forget other people don't do similarly.
