    wonders why the hell some people think I should adopt some position halway between right and wrong just because I run the place? Something's either right or wrong; simple.

      The final decision HAS to fall to ne side or the other, but its final resting place depends on how much influence comes from comprimise.

      i admire the fact that you continue to run this place, seems to me to be a lot of hassle for little return!

      The whingers should remember that this isn't a commercial site, its run by volunteers who've probably got better things to do than sort out troublesome members.

    A bizarre form of unsolicited emails today - embargoed DfT press releases and invitation to a DfT event - more suspicious than a Nigerian 419!

    I see several doom-mongers and corporate/character assassins that sprung up on other sites during the week still seem to be able to compartmentalise their consciences sufficiently to continue posting/reading here.
