 Dear Lorraine and Jennifer,
                        As the instigator of the latest Fawlty Towers postings
I must respond to your posting.
        Since its inception, Histonet has been at the forefront in the coming
together of  Histologists and the sharing of information in our branch of
science from beginner to advanced user. Throughout there has always been a
friendship between subscribers that although we may never meet personally it's
as if we belong to a family of Histologists. I agree the technical side of our
subject takes prime place but surely a little levity must be included. Look at
the response to a cast away remark, numerous postings that demonstrate the one
thing we share as a species, no matter colour or creed, the ability to laugh. I
have often thought that if the 
Secretary General of the United Nations was a comedian rather than a politician
the world situation might improve. Peoples with a perceived dispute could meet
have a good laugh then realise we are all brothers. Sit to together, then with
bright faces solve disputes with a smile rather than a bullet. Naive maybe, but
when peoples laugh together there not harming each other. 
        If you don't want to read a posting press delete. I read every posting
because I feel someone has taken the time to ask a question, respond, offer a
piece of information or make my day just that wee bit brighter by bringing a
smile to my face.
Ian.
