Dan,
I have had the great misfortune to have been interviewed a few times, after various job's etc when on SAR. On EVERY occasion I was misquoted, and on 2, blatant lies were told about things I had apparently said. I hate journalists. I put them on a par with kiddie fiddlers. I think they are inherently unable to tell the truth.
You, Dan, may have reinstated some faith in me. What a wonderful post. Good on you Sir.
