Also, re above, there's too much unrelated dribble and inane waste here. Go onto other more appropriate, "unprofessional" forums to waste your aimless time and banter please and save this for those in the industry with more to offer than waffle.
Does that include your own post Chocks? It adds nothing except a good whinge. Stop being precious. If you remember back to the original couple of years after Pprune became a BB after the email ring, it was the type of place that many thought of as similar to a bar/pub - that is a group of good friends/mates having a little bit of friendly cut and thrust. Those days became numbered of course with the first rash of major moderating around the '89 thread times.
No, this username is nowhere near my first either, the originals (ToppaDescent, BufordT etc) got lost along the way, which might be a good thing...
