Hi all,
I'd just like to thank everyone who replied. Some food for thought that's
for sure, and shown holes in the current set up.
I forwarded the mail in the end - find out next week what the final result
is, but there is a meeting scheduled and I reckon we will be 2 less this
time next week.
I'm still in the grey area - I think I did the right thing, I think that I
would rather I hadn't found it, I think that I don't want "random dipping",
I think that it's a good thing we found out, I think I'm glad I found out 2
people I thought were friends weren't, I think I'm sad I'm going to lose 2
friends (or rather 2 what I thought were friends).
Fsck it, I think I'll get a beer
Dan
