scran - that's a lot of vitriol, I am not sure what I did to deserve that ? I certainly did not put myself forward as an expert on ATC matters (I'm just a pilot), but I did support Dick's view of the world ! (OK, that was enough ?).
Dick - don't give in...25 years of effort should not be wasted !
The Chaser - the "point" is that Dick won't give in, and nor should he.
