Philip is right!! (I'm learning this the hard way) -- always give your script to be reviewed by people in the "trenches" fighting the "wars of selling and writing".

I'm sure there are notable counter-arguements, but there are always a few of those.

I'm hoping for a couple of big announcements later in this week. As regards consultancy, well, I'd never say never, but it would need careful talking about before I did that for anyone. Email me directly at the usual address if you really do want to go ahead, in the face of my direct advice to the contrary :-) Frankk Frankk Hi Liz,

What's happening? The other thing is, are you seriously talking yourself out of work here when you say you won't do coverage? I understand what you are saying in some ways, but surely there are some basic things that you could be putting right for me, even if you don't want to steer the story in an particular direction? Seems doubly frustating right now!! Liz Hello Frankk,
