Tim,
You just don't know when to give up do you. Follow your own earlier advice. I don't actually disagree with your points, just the way they are made.
I for one as an early critic of this and former regimes as VTST offered to go to see them, put the questions, post them unedited and see what could be done. I also did an FOI request to HLF and when I asked for anyone to send me details of any questions they wanted answered I got precisely zero replies.
I did get to speak to HLF and to Dr P who was very forthcoming and it seemed like their might be a change of direction. I think there has, althought it is tiny in comparison to what is needed. So I will repeat the offer. I work in the legal game and well used to dealing with tricky questions, accounting and legal issues so I will gladly volunteer, IF that is what anyone particularly wants (i.e. more than just Tim). If not, that's fine, I have plenty to do otherwise.
To paraphrase what the mod says, "let's sh*t or get off the pot".
