Hi all,

don't really want to fan any flames over this, as I am far from involved in
any way, and the Ozzies are all big boys and girls (I think). Anyway, below
is a mail from J. Jablonski that was cc'd to the GUE list. JJ is not really
known for voicing strong opinions on "public" lists. And the last time I
personally saw him so definitely "not amused" was when he was critiquing
one of my cave dive performances. Except maybe for the time when we told
him about what we overheard B. Rennaker say about him at Peacock.


as sent to Don McInnes, whoever that may be:

===========================

Hi Don, 

With all due respect it is extremely unprofessional and, in my opinion, 
dishonest to contact someone months ahead and over the course of several 
communications requesting they join the show only to cancel two weeks 
before the show. All the excuses as to why this fell apart are actually 
more insulting than the games that came before. Nothing "fell apart" as you

suggest.  Like most people I hate to waste time but I am more resentful of 
being treated like an idiot. Where you seeing this from my POV you would 
likely agree. The games and dishonesty are the most troubling. Organizers 
get to decide who they invite and I have no problem with that. Deception 
and games are where the irritation lies.

Best wishes,
JJ
