Danny,
Ref your request to write to Simon in a polite manner. I've just done so and, I hope, corrected some of his misunderstandings from my hotel room in YVR, before back to back with the sim and NRT. Shouldn't be too fatiguing then!
We do ourselves no favours if we launch at a man like Simon who, let's not forget, has a public platform with reach far in excess of Pprune, as he can easily cherry-pick our indignation and make us out to be even more the prima donnas that he suspects us to be.
Let's try and keep our dignity intact.
Best Regards

Edited to say - just had a very gracious reply from Simon. I maintain that we will not cover ourselves in glory by rushing to attack. Enlightenment and explanation are the way ahead.
