I'm glad to see that you are contributing to PPRUNE so soon after registering as a new member , and all the way from India too ! Technology truly is shrinking the world in which we live !
The " awful lot " of posters to whom you refer , who's posts were removed some time after their initial posting , were precisely TWO in number . I am , in retrospect , grateful to both of them , but one in particular , for stimulating the initial growth of this thread .
To the people who generated the remaining 61 posts and 2582 viewings of this thread I say thank you all , and hope that we have helped each other to better understand an extremely complex situation to the benefit of anyone who found it confusing at first .
If anyone , or even everyone , has been " having a larf " as you put it , then I can only say that my own contribution has been carefully thought out and honestly , and I hope politely , stated , and that's all that matters to me !
