sorry if Mark thought he was banned - this was never the case.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think we should stop talking about Mark Humphreys
and his expulsion or otherwise from this list unless Mark himself is included in
the discussion. I'm pretty sure that talking about people behind their backs is
well outside the remit of this list.</DIV>
<DIV><BR> <BR>>I was never given any 'caution from the police' for
anything, and I shall be looking into the possibility of taking legal action
against Mr Birney for making a defamatory >statement. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Probably not worth it David. Unless Mr Birney is a millionaire you're
unlikely to gain much more than a long headache, and you probably don't have
that much of a case I'm afraid. I'd save you energy for more useful projects if
I were you.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>>He should check his facts before saying things like this - evidently he
doesn't know whaat a 'caution' actually is. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The whole thing about being a Historian is that you are supposed to check
your facts. Isn't it?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>>And Sam - I am not on Facebook as I don't wish to take part in petty
exchanges such as this. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You should try it. Its very good fun and aids relaxation immensely. There
are a surprising number of heavyweight academics on there!</DIV>
