Well, many thanks to TIMA9X for posting the video. If I hadn't watched it, I would have believed the view that MonsterCO1 (IIRC) presented.
I now think that that view was overly harsh and I think that Barry did as well as can be expected for someone in the hot seat, without it being his full time job responding to media interviews (I presume). Yes, there were a few ummms and arrrrghs, but it's not easy (having done it on one or two occasions) being interviewed and thinking on your feet.
So, from me, well done Barry, you did AIPA proud.
