Hi Marvin,

Thanks for your letter.  Over the last few months I got the sort of 
respect for you as an individual (and as a professional) which was 
not on a par with what happened during the last week.  Talking about 
cognitive dissonance...  Therefore I am glad that you just now wrote 
what you wrote, and I'd like to thank you for it.  I sincerely hope 
that in the future we can continue to communicate as a bunch of 
mature, adult, responsible people -- which in the end, I trust, we 
all are.

In case you indeed left the LUG, I'd like to ask you to reconsider 
your decision.  I look forward to more bickering about microphone's, 
input gain, and the best speed at which to burn a CD :-).

In case I am one of those people: I never lost confidence in you.  I 
just think things got quite out of hand.  Now that we're back on 
track: let's move on without looking back.


have a good christmas, and an even better start of the new year,
Hendrik Jan
