TO: Michelle : RE: guidelines for forum and dianakrall store

TO: Michelle,

I have noticed that someone who was extremely disrespectful to Diana and by extension to your family was allowed to post again on the message board. The person’s webname is aligned with the great solar planet.
I thought that the guidelines prohibited such a member from ever posting again. Please explain. That person was also extremely nasty to me in the forum -so yes I am taking this personally.

Also re the store at DianaKrall.com, I cannot use an international credit card to buy anything. Will you consider accepting these since a lot of Diana’s fans are international. I wanted one particular item to be sent to
Canada.

Michelle has nothing to do with the guidelines of this forum.
So, if you have something to tell, just send me an email or a pm.
If someone has infringed the rules, I will make sure it will not be reproduced.

Remi- I "pm" ed you as you suggested.

To those of us you have contributed to the various forums:

You get to know a "poster" by the way their words string together- they almost develop a specific kind of meter or phrasing.
The Remi that I knew would not have been "so cut and dry" in a response as you were to me Remi in this post.

So I am going to speak about the "old" Remi and the "new" Remi.
The old Remi was the fun one with the hearts and cupid arrows on each post- the one that made us laugh so much and even though he stopped doing this after the wedding of DK he continued doing really nice things like asking for our contributions of letters around the time of her 40th birthday which we mailed to Paris.
But about 6 months after the Birthday it seems to be as though the Remi I knew disappeared from the forum and he was gone for quite awhile and then was replaced by someone else carrying his name.But this person seemed different.
I don't know if this is why some of the long time posters have disappeared. One of them had been posting for 5 years and we don't hear from her anymore. Its sad. I enjoyed it for a long time. Thanks for a good time

I'm truly grateful that Rémi gives the time to this board that he does. He doesn't get paid for any of his efforts, and I'm quite sure he is spending his own money to maintain this board and site.

All of our lives have developed over the years we've spent on this board. The young Rémi of DK love note fame was quite different than the mature young adult who's busy working on a career. Again, all any of us can say to Rémi is THANKS!!

[scielle]

Hear! Hear!

Indeed Rémi, thank you for keeping this place alive.

[Rémi]

The "young" Rémi - as I will quote you - was a student, and as a student, he had plenty of free time. That's why I could spend a lot of my time for the website.

The "old" Rémi - who is not that old - has now a full-time job and don't have enough time to check everything on the forum.

I personally have not changed, I'm still the same, only my main preoccupations have changed.

Anyway, I'm going to check SUN's posts and make sure things are ok.

And one last point, just to make clear... the website/ domain name are going for renewal next week. And I'm gonna pay my own money to maintain them for another year.

[Andrea]

Thank you for generosity, Rémi!

Remi: Thanks for maintaining the site with your time (and money). I think that in itself speaks volumes, even though you've entered a different phase of your life now!

By the way, do you care to share what kind of full-time job you have? I remember your postings a few years earlier about your studies in sound engineering. Is it in that field or something related?

[tetwilson]

Thank you so very much Remi for your dedication to this site. It is very much appreciated!!!!!

By the way, do you care to share what kind of full-time job you have? I remember your postings a few years earlier about your studies in sound engineering. Is it in that field or something related?

My job has nothing to do with sound.
Actually, it's just impossible to find a job in the sound domain if you don't have any connections or acquaintances, which was my case. So, I decided to put this aside.

In the small company where I am working (Alliance Informatique Gestion Conseil : Alliance Computer-Management-Consulting), I am in charge of the "computer training" department.

- Computer :
We train people on the office softwares (mainly the Pack Office : WORD, EXCEL, ACCESS, POWERPOINT, PUBLISHER), but also on the creation of Internet websites, on management, on accountancy, etc.
We are also proposing the ECLD (European Computer Driving Licence) which is an internationally recognised qualification that enables people to demonstrate their competence in computer skills.


- Management :
We are a partner/dealer with some important management companies (EBP, CIEL, SAGE, etc.). We sell softwares and we can even train people on the use of their softwares.

Sometimes we - especially me - also have to create databases (with ACCESS) for customers.

- Consulting :
We give people (individual, jobseekers, business, etc.) advices on their choices (training, softwares, etc.) according to their professional projects.


Since it's a small company, we always have a lot of work to do, we never stop. But I don't complain, because it's a nice job.

I hope it gives you an idea of what we do. If one day, you need a training on a software, just call me. We can even train people at home !

Remi: Thanks for letting us know what you do now in your "spare time"! Sounds like a great job. You probably could have used this website as part of your resume/CV!

[verena]

Thanks Rémi. You can remain so silent, at some point I wondered if you existed at all.

Now I understand. Anyways, you always pop up when needed so it's all right. True though, that when you check in with a few smilies and cute comments it sends good vibes in the site.
Hey young man, you are the webmaster ! Move it !!!
