[OSGeo Africa] Conduct

[Chris Berens]

Well said Kevin, I'm sure it was a slip of the medium but it also bothered
me.  Email tone is always so subjective.  Am looking forward to the QGIS
South Africa forum where I can confidently let on just how little I know
about some areas of this wide subject we call GISc.

Regards,
Chris
