T28D - Yup, one of the most aggressive and ill mannered questions I have witnessed.
Rude and aggressive I can live with, but pointless, purblind ignorance and terminal arrogance, that's an altogether different animal. The adage 'engage brain before opening gob' comes to mind.

For the information of those who choose to deny that there are significant problems being covered over by legal hyperbole, manufactured spin and plain old pony pooh a small study of P. Phelan article "Dudding the delegate" may prove educational.
That one piece, examined by a CASA executive who actually knew a bit about the game led to the demise of 3 bad boys and saw one promoted to a level of incompetency under the current regimes philosophy of turning loose incompetents, bullies and liars. Why?, because "if they have aggravated the industry, they must be doing their jobs correctly".
The subsequent loss of Mike Hart and Greg Vaughan was the price paid by the industry for allowing justice in one case to prevail. It is important to compare this outcome with that of subsequent outrages since their departure.
Arnold E should be aware that when there is a conflict journalists are there to report accurately on wars, not to fight them.
