I was tempted to write the same thing Darren, but didn't want to get
involved (and I didn't know if a more direct attempt had previously been
made or not). But, I decide to write now anyway, as I feel it appropriate to
support/encourage what I believe is the right approach in these (and pretty
much all) 'situations' with people - that being to go directly to the person
concerned. I think many of the woes in this world would be avoided if we'd
did this.

I've seen the
'immediately-assume-the-worst-and-take-it-into-the-public-sphere' approach
too many times.

And anyway, it just saves lots of time. 

But, as Paul says, it ends well regardless - maybe there'll be a few more
people supporting and benefitting from the DVDs as a result.

I say, keep educating and collaborating people. There are problems a-plenty.
We don't need to create more unnecessarily. 

All the best

Craig

G'day,

For what its worth I think its unfortunate that someone would use a public
forum to raise an issue that potentially sully's someone's reputation as
opposed to taking it up directly with them and giving them the opportunity
to reply in private.

Perhaps that was attempted, I don't know either way, however there are ways
to do things and this is not one of them, in my opinion, as your 'only as
good as your reputation' in this business...

Very happy to hear that the DVD set is done if that is the case as its an
important piece in the whole shebang.

All the best,

Darren

Yours & Growing,

Lisa Heenan & Darren J. Doherty
