This thread has now been running for nearly five and a half years, is 75 pages in length and runs to nearly 750 posts. Given that some of it is very stale and out of date, it is time for a freshen up. This thread will now be closed, but will remain within the forum and be linked to the new part 2, which will appear within the next few minutes.
If you have posted recently and wish to repost on the new thread 2, then feel free to do so.
Part 2 can be found
