Tony, the fact remains that, unless you had suspected that I had been influenced by my friends & /or by the committee, then there would have been no reason for you to have said "unless you have been influenced by your friends and the committee". It would appear that both my husband and I share a similar view about the washing of dirty linen in public. Even after many years together, we get on quite well, he & I, but you'd be surprised how often our views don't agree; be that as it may, if any of my words happen to have been used by him, or his by me, then it doesn't make them any less valid for that. As for keeping my nose out.... as I said before, you took the decision to make a comment on a public forum so you are not in a position to complain when you don't like the responses you get. Maybe there's a lesson to be learned there? Funny thing about friendship...... you tend to get along best with folks that are like-minded.... there's no conspiring, just a natural sharing of viewpoints and similar outlooks.
