G'day Rado,
In my usual once a working day fashion, I've reviewed this post of yours
included below in full to see if it requires reply, and I'm not replying
in detail because:
1. Dave Ahn has replied as a member of the NIT already, addressing
most of the issues,
2. Mark Mielke replied explicitly to your post, and your followup,
suggests that the only problem you have is inability to stay in touch,
3. replies from others show that you are not part of my constituency,
in that you don't play or use the services that I provide, which is
something that I wasn't fully aware of,
4. none of my constituency have asked these same questions, you're a
lone voice in the wilderness. It would hurt my constituency to spend
time on your voice alone.
