Thank you Bloggs, it reminded me Mr Smith had no compuction implying I am a fibber and that is a concern to me:

On Saturday I stated (Post 229)
I am proud of my name James Michael, has been mine for many years.
And today Mr Smith questions my integrity with the quote you have noted. Am I to debate in this culture?

I feel we have reached a point of debate acknowledged by Leo Tolstoy in 1893:
"Quite difficult matters can be explained even to a slow-witted man, if only he has not already adopted a wrong opinion about them; but the simplest things cannot be made clear even to a very intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he already knows, and knows indubitably, the truth of the matter under consideration."

I commend Dick Smith as a very intelligent man.

I am also intrigued at this intrusion into the business of Airservices. How they wish to propose a business case to aviation and government is not mine to argue - I am researching only the pros and cons for aviation.

Perhaps Airservices can reciprocate and send in a team to help Mr Smith with his businesses
