<br><br>Why
did you extinguish his "Introduction"? Meanwhile I fear that has been a
reason for him to to leave the list. I'm nearly sure you didn't do this
intentionally, did you?<br><br>If it's possible you should contact him about this...<br><br>Very best!<br><br>Johannes "Jonny" Meibohm<br><br>----------<br><br>From: <span id="_user_jonny.meibohm@arcor.de" style="color: rgb(0, 104, 28);">
R. F. Hahn </span><span style="font-weight: normal;" class="lg"><<a href="mailto:sassisch@yahoo.com">sassisch@yahoo.com</a>></span><br>Subject: Members<br><br>Hello, Jonny, and thanks for alerting me to the situation.
<br><br>I am BCCing Piet on this so he knows what's going on.<br><br>As I told you in a private (Low Saxon) response right now, the fact that Piet was missing from the said list had a very simply and inocuous reason, a technical one. I recently had a computer crash at home (and it still isn't fixed, hopefully will be this coming weekend). When I used the other computer a couple of days later I (stupidly) did not update my files by downloading them from the web, and I went ahead and edited a few older versions of files. I believe that this happened rather that Mathieu and I, often working on the same stuff in different places, undoing each others' edits, which happened in the past. Furthermore, Piet was not the only person missing from that list. I think that I have reconstructed it now. However, should anyone else be missing,
<span style="font-style: italic;">please</span> contact me.<br><br>I sure hope that this was <span style="font-style: italic;">not</span> the actual reason why Piet left LL-L. If it was, I would be not only sad but also quite apalled, because it would indicate to me that he didn't even know me a little bit and would have assumed that I disliked him for some reason, which was never ever the case. Furthermore, his farwell message did not indicate any of this. Had he contacted me about this matter I would have either investigated it or would have been able to tell him right there what the reason was, and then I would have immediately rectified it and apologized to him about it.
<br><br>As Lowlanders should know, I am absolutely not in the habit of ousting people either overtly or surreptitiously. (If someone truly misbehaved I'd give him or her plenty of warning first, which last happened quite a few years ago). Anything else is simply not my
<span style="font-style: italic;">modus operandi</span>, and I do not get involved in other people's battles. My "niceness" is not an act.<br><br>I have said this many times, and I say it again:<br><br style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">
<span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Should anyone find themselves unsubscribed or, as in this case, excluded otherwise, it is definitely not </span><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">
deliberate </span><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">doing one my or another team member's part. It probably has a technical reason and can be easily fixed. All it takes is contacting us. It's as simple as this.
</span><br style="font-weight: bold;"><br>Furthermore, let me repeat this:<br><br style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">There is not a single person on Lowlands-L that I dislike or wish was gone.
</span><br><br>Thanks again, Jonny.<br><br>Reinhard/Ron<br>
