Biscuit, Flyingfiend prefers to hide behind so-called anonymity. His type like to hide behind the scenes, bit like lobbing rocks from the bushes onto cars driving by, rather than come out into the open. And the reason you cop the letter at 1655 Friday arvo is because you now have 2 less days to work on a recovery strategy. The Flyingfiends load the bullets, operational management fire the gun.
Perhaps 1655 on a Friday afternoon is therefor a good time to tip some sh#t on them, smack bang on the weekend? Nothing like the Ministers office phoning all weekend with 'please explains'! Then again, maybe some pruners already do this??
