Steve76, may I suggest the search function and then, once you have found the threads in which you are interested, you subscribe to them and then you won't have to hunt them out again.
Of course, if you had wanted a thread like this to disappear, the easiest thing to do would have been to ignore it.
jemax would have got his suggestions and it would be done and dusted. However, by turning something like this into a controversy, you are guaranteeing its lifespan on Page 1.
May I also suggest that you're feeling out of sorts because of the bad news you have received about a friend and colleague. Talk to Auntie Whirls and I can try to help put you back to the helpful and egalitarian pilot that we all know you are
Cheers
Whirls
