BRL - I think (hope) you're in the minority here. I for one am enjoying this thread. We are all big boys and girls here and I don't see anyone leaving pprune in disgust because someone anoymous called another anoymous person a name, or because of a few 'passionate' statements on one thread.
This thread is useful for the orginal poster and entertaining for the rest of us - what more do you want?
PS W3 -
Shall we all have a hug now and go down the pub?
You can forget the hug, but I'll let you buy the first round!
