This is where I have to point something out. If indeed you are employed in
anyway by Fasa it kind of like getting both sides of the muffin buttered.
Don't take this as a personal insult Adam but humans being human tend to
protect the hand that feeds them. Not yourself but others have and it needs
to stop.

But the connotation is there. Just as I've said with other things. If you
working for Fasa and maintaining this list then personal and professional
convergences are inevitable. This means that changes are in order. If
Granite were still around I'd give him the nod for an addition to the admin
team and right now I can't think of anybody else except for Tinner but I
don't think he'd be up to the position.
