Regular readers and members may have noticed that some of our What Nicola Has told Us Now topic has recently been withdrawn.

This is because its contents may have been abused.

Whilst repeating once more my constant appeal for readers to join and contribute to this valuable Forum, I am deeply saddened to think that it may have been abused in such a way and that some of its contents are in consequence no longer available to the vast majority of genuine admirers and readers.

Nicola has around her a team of professionals and trusted friends who are unlikely to be deceived by such attempted abuse of information gathered from any source.

At a personal level, may I state very clearly that, whilst welcoming e-mails or other approaches from people genuinely interested in making good contributions to this Forum,  I hold very strongly to the maxim "Un amico no parla" and will never disclose any information obtained privately unless authorised by Nicola to do so.

On a more positive note, I hope that the What Nicola Has Told Us Now topic will be contined very soon.
