apologies to TopHatter
In the attention to all Indians thread I made the assertion that TopHatter sucked as a moderator. Having been told of a few facts which, not being a moderator myself, I was unaware of, I unreservedly apologise to TopHatter.

I would against my normal habit go in and edit that comment out and post this there but as the thread has been locked by Chris I can't, so therefore offer this public apology here in lieu. Understanding what has been going on behind the scenes better now I can rightfully assert the TopHatter anything but sucks.

Iain.

Iain,
Don't sweat it man, we've all been through the wringer these past several weeks.
And thanks for those kind words, it means a lot
