hval, I've been lucky enough to be associated with the Reds - or at least with their PR - since the 1980s. I agree that there may have been one or two prima donnas in the team in the past, but my experience of them nowadays is that they are eminently approachable, for everyone - security and tight schedules allowing.

I suggest that one factor in their cohesion as a team is their selection process. I can't think of many teams where potential new members are socially, professionally and personally vetted by the current team. I think I'm right in saying that that tends to weed out prima donnas.

I definitely think you should contact them. I don't suppose you'll have a problem doing that, but pm me if you want.
