Thanks.  

I still take far more from this Forum  than i am able to return.

Although I am a long term contributor, and feel i have to some degree earned a small place here because of that  ( maybe if only as   some sort of " Foreign Correspondent " ), I am  very aware that  geography and national birthright   means  I am , and will always be,  a Guest in someone else's game  of AgTalk.

I realise there is some  contradiction expressed in the above statement.   It is how it is, but i AM grateful of being afforded the opportunity to play.


I  wasn't threatening to take my  bat & ball and leave...   


I simply  feel that some injustice  has been  doled out in this instance , and I couldn't see any genuine mitigating circumstances at work. 
My  personal sense of fair play  made me  put voice to that,  knowing it would be a  view not shared by all.

There have been other times I have regretted  failing to stand up for what I thought was right, even if it wasn't a huge issue at stake.

Perhaps  it's time i changed my   signature line and my life attitude to "The Buck NOW stops Here..."
