Big fish, little fish

The CEO of Mothers' Union has written in person to ask, very kindly, if I might transfer the diocesan Mothers' Union web domain to the central organisation. It's a shame the diocesan administrative people couldn't bring themselves to ask me directly, but then I recognise the technique of rendering someone non grata as a 'non-person' - or an 'unperson' to quote Orwell's 1984 again!

But what a waste: the CEO of a a multi-national organisation of more than 3.6 million members having to concern himself with this little fish in his big pond.

Less than 24 hours after replying that I would of course be happy to relinquish the domain name I was told that the diocesan functionaries "had bought a web site." For £5.99. I look forward to seeing that one!
