    I really wouldn't read anything into this. I believe there are personal reasons why Lineisclear has resigned that are nobody's business apart from his. I have seen an explanation elsewhere from him so let's leave the spurious speculation behind.

    I've posted this elsewhere as well, found on one of my late partner Samantha's VHS tapes, Kluz's Obsessions. A Tyne Tees TV local programme from the late 90s featuring A4 SNG, the NYMR and some will known faces, most sadly also no longer with us.

    Sawdust.

    We'll take your word for it (for now). But so much happens behind curtains at the NYMR that the rest of us more or less have to grope in the dark, on minimal clues, to try and understand what's going on. The current top layer of management at the NYMR might want to remember that we are not mushrooms. Their desire to keep things private may be understandable, but the almost inevitable consequence of that lack of openness, in an organization that is facing severe challenges, is poorly-based speculation among the onlookers. (To use an electrical engineering analogy, when there is not enough signal, the response is often to turn up the gain/amplification - but that cannot improve the signal/noise ratio - as here.)

    The NYMR is acting like an 'ordinary' business - but it's not, although they are constantly displaying for us evidence that the current top layer of management (above the CEO - who is not the shot-caller in the organization) does not understand that.

    There is no need to take my word for it's the truth. Lineisclear has given his reasons on another forum why he is standing down. I'm not going to repeat why as it's not my place and it's his choice what and where he makes this public. There are users on here 60044 for one that knows this to be true so you don't need to "take my word for it(for now)"
