[QUOTE="BlackLightning998, post: 9952, member: 109"] [b]Mmmmm, riding into the affray.....[/b] Morning All,:confused: I happen to be personally of the opinion that Graham has done an outstanding job of editing MPH to name but one thing he has done to further the objects of the VOC as laid out in the Club Rules. Assuming that the "embedded" posting is for public consumption I'd like to distance myself just as far as I possibly could from it and any comment similarly describing it as "For someone without any apparent qualifications for the job, you've made a good fist of it." I think that's an unfortunate choice of words which may well be the expression of someone's perception and therefore their reality, however, personally, I think it unhelpful, unecessary, unproductive and uncalled for here though.:eek: Very well done Graham in my view, many others sit of the sidelines and place ticking packages on the table, offer less than (in my opinion) constructive critisicim and yet do little or nothing that I can see to contribute to MPH in any form of attempt to improve the things they've identified need improving. I think the Forum and MPH are all the better for Graham Smith and I think that, whilst he and I certainly don't see eye to eye on everything that has recently happened in this Club of ours, and on occasion quite recently have found each other diametrically opposed such as the debarcle of the Club Chairman, Tim Kirker's as yet unevidenced allegation of defamation of character by one member of another, the balance is a huge positive from his input and influence. No, the Forum and MPH are not perfect and human beings are involved, but my goodness the Forum is an outstanding tool in my opinion and I know for one that I simply could not devote the time and energy to it that Graham Smith has - and I think a few words of thanks, or even silence would be far preferable than what I've read here this morning. Thank you Graham Smith is what I say.:D Opinions are great, but what about: An article or two for MPH. Or a motion or two at GCM. Or some other constructive contribution to support the objects of the Club Or silence...... See you tomorrow at Kempton PK. Regards to all Stuart [/QUOTE]
