With regard to your point 2 LD, I don't see how BASSA could flag this issue up.
If they had made a big fuss over it, they could hardly insist on dropping disciplinary hearings for their own members' "Facebook misdemeanors".
Meanwhile, on the other thread, in his/her typically eloquent fashion, Watersidewonker had promised some further "bad" news in tomorrow's papers. (This post has since been removed).
I know the majority of WWW's ramblings/predictions are shall we say wide of the mark, but it will be interesting if a story does break tomorrow that BASSA knew about today....
