Bit of a sweeping statement isn't it? Presupposes that all the "whiners" haven't already complained or tried to take some action... maybe they have? Likewise, it's a bit of a sweeping statement to make a judgement on whether one person thinks a thread is "worth keeping open" isn't it?
I'm tempted to say that if you think all of this talk is a waste of time (and I have to admit that I'm inclined to agree with you) then why not talk to the Pprune Administrators and see whether Pprune can make some effort to make more official enquiries to TVOC, HLF, Government, CAA or anyone else you care to think of? Pprune is (technically-speaking) a publisher, and represents the views of many people, so you'd certainly have enough "clout" to deserve some decent answers, if nothing else. The opportunity to actually do something is there...
