[MD] Side Step

[Magnus Berg]

Ok, ok Ian

I heard you the first time, this is the 3rd. Thanks for the heads up.

I honestly don't pay much attention to quotes other than their face 
value, so especially such personal pads on the back goes straight to the 
bin. This time though, I think Platt and I got off in a good direction, 
perhaps because we don't have much recent personal grudge, I don't know. 
So even if it is a diversion, it's a very pleasant one. Reminds me of 
the early days and might just encourage others to follow a similar tone. 
Perhaps even newcomers.

Speaking of LC, I actually have a few comments from RMP in LC that I'm 
quite dissatisfied with. He outright criticises *me*, can you imagine 
that! :) So, if anyone cares to look through those comments, I'm game.

	Magnus
