Rupert, thanks for your email. No need to be sorry at all mate.

Brilliant! I would have understood where you were coming from if you had 
said that in the first place. It's important to state why we do things. It 
really helps.

The next thing to do is question how it can help us sort Kendra out. For 
example... Kids know filesharing. They're being brought up on it... And in 
10 years time, if there isn't a convenient pay-for-your-media system in 
operation, they'll know exactly how to get the tunes they want another way. 
We should use this cartoon to persuade content owners to come on board... 
See? It does help! We can use anything but we have to be conscious about 
doing that.

And if you think I'm going to try and bend everything that people say on 
these lists to Kendra's advantage then you're darn right. Because that's 
what these lists are for and that's what we should all have in mind when we 
post to them. Use humour at all, all times but use it with direction and 
purpose.

And, finally, if you think the list guidelines need altering then please go 
ahead and suggest ways of doing that. People get turned off from reading 
long emails very quickly and so it's important to keep them as short and 
concise as possible. That's why I created the guidelines in the first 
place. Are they any good?

Cheers Daniel
