Simon, my apologies for the delay in replying. I just wanted to say thank you for this note.
In future, to you and the list, be assured that I'll be very careful in suggesting list policy changes or directing topics away from this list very clearly. So there should be no confusion like what just happened. IPhone discussion is completely welcome here and for those who'd like a more specific IPHone group, VIPhone is there… I think this is just a case that we're all a bit on-edge due to the contention over the IPhone. It's easy for people's emotions to run a bit high when there's such disagreement happening on one hand, yet also such elation happening as well… Good dialoguing in these sorts of situations can really be the key to helping us communicate much more smoothly. Thanks again for your note and as always, if you have any concerns, please don't hesitate to email me privately… (caraqu...@caraquinn.com) Have a great evening and talk with you soon!… Smiles, Cara :) --- Follow me on Twitter! https://twitter.com/ModelCara View my Online Portfolio at: http://www.onemodelplace.com/CaraQuinn On Jun 13, 2009, at 2:39 AM, Simon Cavendish wrote: I would like to apologise to Cara for an unnecessary tone of my e-mail regarding the creation of the separate discussion group for IPhone. I need not have expressed my personal preferences in that way. I also apologise to the listers for their having to read such an exchange on the list.
