Dear Lorraine and Jennifer,<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab> </x-tab>As
the instigator of the latest Fawlty Towers postings I must respond to
your posting.<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>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 <br>
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. <br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>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.<br>
