Thanks for that. I was not very upset about your comments & did feel that you were addressing the originator, rather than myself. However, I did want to establish my credentials & re-emphasize my intentions. I was also very keen to stress that I was, in no way, attributing any blame to anyone - least of all the ATCO. I presume he was the one who took remedial action in this incident , & I stressed that , as far as I was concerned, he did a good job of conflict resolution, sequencing & expedition subsequent to the “event”. As regards the rest of your comments; I agree entirely with you.
