Your comment last week that I was responding to today, was about comments I made around the time that HN made some legitimate comments on the situation (which was also last week). I think that they were long overdue, but we have them now and they were appreciated. As HN says, JD and I are (litterally) a million miles away from it all but that does not make our ideas or thoughts on the matter any less relevant.
I am not trying to drag up old arguements, but the fact Terry rang Smithy out of the blue to speak to him about the situation a few months ago is a positive sign that could be looked to be built on. While we were banging on about trying to do something and getting no decent information back, it only served to create an arguement that was going further and further off track.
There is a hierarchy in YF and those at the top (rightly or wrongly) make decisions on the direction that this group takes. If they came out earlier and stated that they had thought about about approaching Terry but decided that it was the worst idea since Amy Winehouse thought to stay in and have a quiet drink at home, then that would have been fine. Obviously they do not have to aknowledge every half-assed, hair brain scheme that is raised on this forum - only mine.
this is all a little rambly, but bottom line is the following:
* TermX - stop your wobbly lower lip and put your toys back in your pram. You are good value on here, and your arguements are generally well thought out and put across.
