	Simplest way to avoid the situation is to take Scotts suggestion and 
meet at the pub. The threat wasn't made about that location. This way 
the only one of the specifics mentioned which will still remain is the date.

	Although I'd like to see everybody again there has been a number of 
unfortunate events this month. On top of everything I have been ill for 
the last couple of days. Maybe next month.
