ML,
I think you have confused a lot of us on here with your last post. You seem to be contradicting yourself.
Firstly you rubbish the accusations of skulldugery, bad planning, inadequate preparations, autonomy, yet confirm that if one fails to prepare they will ultimately fail.
Perhaps, ML, there are those that know more than you do about the behind scenes goings on and you are still grasping in the hope of 'keeping the faith'.
SS
ps. Are there any pics of the damage available for us outsiders?
