I enjoy a bit of a 'bluster' myself bubblyrat, and am sure that people will find it therapeutic to vent their feelings here. Don;'t worry!

I'm sure no-one wants to stir up any more problems for Miskin, but everyone who knows Miskin personally will be 'up in arms' to try to keep the peace that Andy needs right now. That's probably why we're all jumping in and trying to stop anyone from calling more attention to this localised problem. I must admit, when I first heard the news it crossed my mind as to whether all the 'chatting' about Miskin here on the Cat had actually done some damage - I certainly hope not!

On the other hand, I can see that there is a need also for licensing problems to be discussed and challenged. Otherwise, as in many other parts of our lives, our rights and desires will be whittled away by those who make decisions on our behalf.

Those of us who love Miskin are all still reeling from the shock of the cancellation this year and desperately hoping that Andy and Jillie will find the strength to continue their struggle, whatever it may be. That strength could be easily be worn down while trying to address issues raised here, so please, could we take the licensing discussion away from any of the Miskin threads?
