Just a couple of things for me to add here having read those exchanges.
In his message to Sam, Ewald is saying that it was the current LAA Board that rekindled this argument.
Yes, TC had reopened the discussion about the motion on recommendation of the current LAA board! The vote was not according to their voting mode (they changed the mode thereafter to avoid things like this happening again) and they realized that the award had been given correctly for the above mentioned reason.
I wonder if that will be made clear to their members who will be voting.
This started out as a SOLO/NOT SOLO argument and that rages on,, but it was in the course of doing the digging that many other anomalies arose with plenty of deception along the way. We heard earlier from Nick Adams how it was all his fault and that Tracey was horrified etc etc. Yet she, from her own lips in the video at Herne Bay, continued to encourage the SOLO story. So horrified that she let this go long after the the mess was beginning to unravel.
