Re: Goodbye TECHWR-L

["Martin Page" <mpage -at- csl -dot- co -dot- uk>]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I greatly value Andrew's well-put points.
Even when I don't think he's right, he articulates widely held opinions and
issues that we as professionals encounter in other people. He also has
shedloads of business and management experience - I for one have learned
much from his posts.
Andrew - thanks for your time and words. I would have de-lurked more often
to step in in your defence, except that the list isn't supposed to be a
place for e-duelling. I hope you'll find the time to put the odd opinion
pieces on your website

Best wishes

Martin Page
