["G Christie" <bayvu@ihug.co.nz>]

Hang on, he did qualify  his comments by admitting he'd exaggerated. But
'carefully selected' - O.K. we all think we do that. 'Highly qualified and
skilled'.... hmm O.K. I couldn't possibly comment. In my opinion this whole
thing's a bit of a guessing game, and I doubt that anyone took Chris'
comments seriously, did we?  We've noticed your recommendations from time to
time, but based on the tone of your letter, and on the success of those
'recommendations' I'd certainly think twice about commenting on them in
'Sharechat'. Only my opinion, mind. Ben, can we defuse this situation?
Cheers
