Greg,

I did not mean to impute bad faith, and if you took it that way
then I apologise for not being more clear.

On reflection, I think the above paragraph would have been better
with the words "pressure from" omitted. The meaning, as I intended
it, would have been just the same.

Kind Regards,

Malcolm.
