I've not read all the thread but just wanted to chip in and say that I support and am hugely grateful for the contributions played by Venice and Rosa, Posie and Jean, Julia Long, the wonderful Dr Stock and equally marvellous Jane Claire Jones and all the other brilliant GC pioneers (Sharon Davies, Stephanie A-D, Anne Ruzylo [her prison talk will never leave me] etc etc)
Yes there might be disagreements now but in the longterm, when this is all over, that won't matter because it will be your individual and collective bravery in sticking your heads over the parapet and your different insights and approaches and expertise that got us there.
Thank you all of you (and all the MN regulars who helped me understand that I wasn't, in fact, going mad and that other people were aware and wanted to do something).
