The trouble is that some of the threads on this forum seem to degenerate into a slanging match between posters and become increadably dull and painful to read (may I refer my learned friends to the thread about helicopter flying schools in Aus). The only way to get a quick and easy answer sometimes is to start a new thread.
If you don't want to read a thread which some-one else has started....then don't, but please let others get on with their lives too.
...standing by for slagging off......
