Twinact,
many thanks for the acknowledgement but I don't feel that I should be the owner of the thread. (I know what you were trying to say/mean, and for that I thank you) - everything actually belongs to Danny.
Like you, I'm happy for all to post here regardless of 'side' of the debate. After all, on the whole, we have a healthy debate on the merits (or lack of, in my humble opinion) of the Reviewing Officers' opinions.
It's a very emotive subject and I think that it's no suprise when, occasionally, the short fuse gets used. All I try to do then is to keep the injustice in the public domain, keep contributors focused and afford the matter the dignity it deserves. I would never dream of acting in the manner of a moderator as I don't think that is my place.
I get far more pleasure from irritating the hell out of the MoD!!!
Finally, I would say that anyone who posts speculation/opinion/best guess (and I'm not suggesting anyone in particular!) should expect to be challenged in accordance with the rules in place at the time - Absolutely no doubt whatsoever.
My best, as always, to you all.
Brian
