Michel,

You've always acted with professionalism, and we all appreciate that fact. Continue in that realm, **communicate** with ALL of us as to your chosen actions and the reasoning behind those actions as promptly as the situation allows, and you'll have no further concern (from me, anyway) about the outcome.

What WOULD cause me to question my participation in this forum (and what I attempted to communicate to you and others) is the lack of ANY explanation, communications and/or action(s) in the matter of question. If anything else was inferred from any of my postings, that inference was not my intent.

>Here is a small note on that thread, the one that everyone seems to be talking about today. This morning, when I started my day, I have been bombarded by dozens of complaints. Some others came in my private messages here on the Universal Thread. It is surprising me, that following that situation, I didn't get voice mails.

>This is to let you know that I am aware that there is something going on. I just don't know entirely what it is presently because I have been in meeting all day and I have to prepare this important TV interview tomorrow for the national TV in regards to the tax problem we have here presently, which is the highest priority right now on the Universal Thread as this is related to its survival (thanks to all who continued their support BTW with purchase of subscriptions and banner advertisements as this has allowed us to keep it running). I just read a portion of a message so far, from that entire thread, and the first thing I saw was that one or multiple users might withdraw their support to this site if no prompted action is taken. Well, such approach usually does not work very well with site administratives as usually none of them work under such pressure or such threats. I believe most of our members already know, that after those more than 10 years of operation, that everything is
>done under a professional way here when comes time to execute some administration procedures. I just find it sad, that after I have come up from those meetings and after I spent 6 hours in the emergency in the hospital today that some members are threatening to remove their support from this site if they are not satisfied enough within a specific timeframe. This is really sad. One should know that such administrative procedures take time. This is not something where we would simply just press a button. There is an analysis that has to be done and I need to rely on the actual Terms & Conditions of the site. I need to know if some rules have been broken. Based on some emails I have received, based on the fact that I do realize that some content in regards to that specific thread is quite offended for some, I need to rely on rules being broken. If there are, proper measures will be taken in the chain of procedures such as notifications and banishment, if necessary. One should also know
>that it is useless to ask for threads/messages removal because this will not happen. The administrative procedures detailed in the Terms & Conditions say that we do some specific actions. That does not include removal of threads nor messages.

>So, I would like to ask for your patience on this. It is also not necessary to keep sending me more complaints as this will simply jeopardized the timeframe it will take to work on that issue.
