Hi Jasper.
Oh, please don't go. I've just come back from holiday and thought wow
what a lively debate.

It's good to have opinions and that's what creates the debate. As long
as we are all polite and sensible about it. Well geeh why not? I'm
french and we (the french and my family included) have I beleive
nothing but debates. We might all in the end stick to our guns but
it's always a good thing to hear what others have to say.

I'm not sure about TTO being bad and I am not a user of this product
but I appreciate the knowledge you have given me in this particular
field. Even more so that the body shop who have strong ethics on
cosmetics seem to have a whole range using it... something to
definitely follow.

I think it's a shame that we should 'fight' over issues that are meant
to be helpful and with good intent and the fact that you apologised
for your tone of voice shows this.

Emails can a lot of times appear very abrupt and dry and do not always
truly carry the real intent of the writer.

So lets all please stick together to keep informing each other in as
friendly a manner as we can manage.

BTW Happy New Year to all my fellow rosaceans!
Lisa M.
