Sorry I was still putting together the other letter for a pdf.

Is this one going as a simple e-mail? A W$ord file attached? If a pdf, I would need Nomad to pdf it and send it to me. Actually, I haven't got access to the ET e-mail, I think Jerome has. So we might do the two letters at once?

Signatures? I don't think we can assume everyone's agreement (of those -- 13 -- who are signing the Open Letter). So there's me, Mig, Nomad, rg -- who else?

Re: Perhaps (none / 0)

I think plain text is fine, as this has no formatting.

If you must use Word, save as RTF. That is also a good option if you want to preserve, say, the bullet list.

We're 1 to 2 hours after noon. Forget about PDF.

Regards,

Miguel

Pffft... brain short-circuit, I ended it like an e-mail ;-)

Heh (none / 0)

I was wondering whether you did that with some symbolism in mind... It's hot in London, too?

I'm with Mig (none / 1)

Plain text is fine for now. We can fret about PDF on the other letter.

4 signatures will have to do (thanks rg!). Time is getting thin. Let's get this one send ASAP, and then finish off Piebalds.

You can throw me in if you'd like.

Can you use the ET email account?

Re: Perhaps (none / 0)

Foot of page right?

Jerome is probably the only man with the key.

Re: Perhaps (none / 0)

Apart from sigs, do we have the blessing(s) of other ETers for sending these out? I'm thinking in particular of Jerome, Colman, and Fran, who are in their different ways key representatives of the site. (When people come to the site, Fran's breakfast is the first thing they'll see; Jerome's and Colman's frontpage articles come next, so if we send these out in the name of ET it'd be good to get their agreement is how I'm thinking...)

You are of course (none / 0)

completely right. But we just received Colman's blessing, and Dear Leader allows free rein behaviour, so we will just hope and pray it may please him...

Re: You are of course (none / 0)

and Fran? Maybe her role is as the world's most excellent freelancer?

Re: You are of course (4.00 / 2)

I though "abuse the locust" meant...

Never mind what I thought.
