Guest guest Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Dear John, All I can say is John Wedderburn has been extraordinarily liberal and considerate as a moderator. He is also among the most courteous and rational individuals I have ever come across. If you have a problem with his moderation maybe should discuss it privately with him before making your feelings public.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Dear All, Mr. John Wedderburn is very good in handling AAPN. We don't want to change him under any circumstances. we SHOULD not think of anybody else. John Edmundson can create his new . Regards, Nilesh Note from Moderator: I am closing this thread now! As most of you already know, I shall be very happy to hand this moderating task on to someone else as soon as a suitable person volunteers. In the meantime you will all have to put up with my idiosyncratic moderating style. I try to be fair but I have learned that it is not possible to please everyone all the time! John.

He is genle ,mild and has been encouraging the group members. Sandeep wrote: Dear John, All I can say is John Wedderburn has been extraordinarily liberal and considerate as a moderator.

It largely due to my knowledge of John's character and his skill in handling email discussions on difficult subjects that I joined this list in the first place. I don't know where he finds the time, with all the other stuff he's doing to make the world a better place for the animals, but if he's willing to continue I certainly hope that he will. Good wishes to all for a happy and productive year ahead. Vanessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
