Southern - as RB says, if it relates to this thread and you have looked for the answer already, fire away. Generally we crusties only get angry when ridiculous posts are made here when previous info has not been looked at and c**p is repeated endlessy . If it is a non-thread related query, and you are not a commercial pilot, go to Spectators or Questions or Tech if you are, and we will try to answer it in a civil manner. Promise.
