Bret, 

I fail to see how Brian's position in SLPWA is relevent to this discussion on 
the plug list? I think if it were an issue being discussed on the SLPWA 
discussion list then Brian would step in and ask for it to either be 
discussed in another forum or solved at a committee or general meeting.

My personal opinion is that this sort of off topic subject should be delt with 
privately.

I think the only reputation being hurt by all this being aired in the open 
forum is your own.

Patrick
