Ah. And who did you say that to?

No, I shouldn't ask. But perhaps this is what I was thinking of when I posted the first post in this thread.

Yes. The agreement I discussed with several producers. As I said, they have no problem with YOU running the site. In fact, they wish to support you in any way possible.

Dave is popular. I may have had a go at you but I can see why you are a popular chap. But surely you don't think that people are going to regard Pudding in the same way.

I do a lot for the production team. You don't understand the situation. It was my idea to contact Jim about writing an original score for a motor cycle show. I found this website and saw that it was possible to write to Jim. JD forwarded my mother's letter and she was talking on the phone to Jim a few hours later. After my mother got together with Jim, he talked her into doing BOOH instead.

Although I am not part of the production team. You are right about that. However, I have been asked to monitor the press and the internet for relevant information by the production team. Because they are too busy to do it themselves.

I didn't think that talking about Rink on this board would be a problem for you. Sorry if it was. Unlike some, I am willing to admit it when I have made a mistake. I honestly didn't think it was the most important matter in the post.

I would disagree if you are telling me not to discuss the website itself publicly. Its a brave move that you have made and part of the reason that you are being brave is because it is an open-to-the-public site which can be judged.

The stuff about Pudding being a moderator was made public on this board by Pudding.

That's good, if it is true. It is certainly not what Pudding said to me. Forgive me for thinking that I would not be treated equally. There is Pudding's attitude to me and I have noticed that you have already made "egg-mode" jokes (although I have to admit that your egg jokes are often funny and not cruel like Smeg's and Pudding's jokes).

BTW, the two posts that my mother found most upsetting were the one by Caveman describing Frances and the follow up post by Wordnix which made fun of Frances.

Frances is not a rock and roll person or a producer but she put her life savings on the line to help pay for the rights. She doesn't deserve to be ridiculed because she likes Mozart more than Meat Loaf.

Apart from that, Caveman's Deep Throat activities have intrigued my mother. People are really wondering who this Deep Throat is. I hope he or she knows that they are now more famous than Susan.
