I believe that the baston/purdey team have now taken to spamming in pairs, so I would seriously suggest not giving them the incentive to continue by replying.
Above all, despite claims of 'experience' in the past, their actual understanding of low-level operational 'practicalities' appears sadly minimal as can be seen over and over again, and the lack of a balanced requirement for 'proof' either way makes sensible discussion both frustrating - if not impossible. We leave in place, and view their comments, of course, but NB Wholigan's advice elsewhere.
