Some friends came round after my earlier post last night with some strange fiery foreign liquid, with the result that I made that post about Dave R.

I know Dave only from some private emails about music and suchlike, and he has always been OK to me.

I know nothing of his connection or otherwise with the various disreputable premie websites of the past, so bow to other peoples' views on that.

Naturally, I don't in reality think it appropriate for him to attend any ex function.

I guess it's a nice thought for everybody to be friends despite differing views on M, and now that a lot of the heat seems to be vanishing from the conflict, but that's maybe utopian.
