Sharkey,
Keep it going, you still have the ability to "stir it up" in a very reasoned manner. Upsetting a few people is one of those things that we can all do, it does not mean anything on a personal basis, as well you know!!
I now confess to all other PPruNe posters on this topic that I was Sharkey's QFI/Flt Cdr when he went through the JP course at Linton in the late 60's. Not the perfect stude (is there ever one?) but I wish that there had been more like him!
