Re-heat,
Again, I fully advocate your last paragraph. However my point is that this "discussion" about the how, why and wherefore of what has caused the current situation, pretty much started on page 17 of this 26 page thread. Over a third of this entire thread is now dedicated to re-hashing information which provides no useful help to any wannabe, either in training or thinking of - other than the re-iterated and implied - but rarely directly stated "it would be a bad idea right now"
Would you not agree that perhaps 9 pages is excessive in throwing the life ring to those 'about' to take the plunge. Would you not agree that the number of wannabes who are UN-aware of the situation is likely minimal and as such perhaps undeserving of 9 pages? Would you not agree that perhaps after 9 pages of advice not to go swimming, perhaps [trying to] throwing a life ring to those who jumped in the pool in sunnier climes might not be a more helpful use of time?
