I have actually found most of the original thread now in my history files - nothing's ever truly lost on a computer! I found the thread useful, irrespective of any judgements others might make over the facts.
Given an hour or so, I could probably reconstruct it in some form if people think it would not be a breach of pprune etiquette to re-start the thread, or (if it's acceptable generally) I can let people have a copy to review and file away in their private 'must remember this stuff' part of the memory.

I'll await a couple of flames to fall into the thread before putting anything up - I can be certain people will let me know exactly what they think...

BTW - If the thought is that I'm a sad b*st*rd and a geek, don't bother as my kids already made me aware of that...
