I was never throwing stones at the acting police - it was clear the fault was never theirs. Indeed it was not even for them to apologise, though they may have. If so, the better for them. Yet fault there was. This should not have happened.
Neither am I saying this could not happen elsewhere. I have personally created havoc in IT systems that annoyed many people - !!!! happens, and will continue to happen.
What WAS worrying and disgusting me is that some of the postings here sounded as if though such a mishap should be considered normal and acceptable. That would be an open invitation to Big Brother - who is already far too much alive in the USA, as I understand from far away.
But again, this is politics, which we ought not really to discuss here. I will leave it at this.
