...and arriving back to my computer I read this fun post by a new member on the CC thread:
Long time reader , first time poster ! 
The Rep concerned is highly respected and is very well loved by Bassa members , he has always been forthright and honest in both his postings and Emails , i trust him , i believe him and perhaps you flyboys need to ask yourselves if you are the ones being lied to ... because a senior rep , backed by an undisclosed senior manager says you are ... maybe just think about it before you dimiss it outright !! Cheers
