Rustle, darling,
We all know that the entire AIS/Notam saga is very close to your heart. I and I am sure many others are very grateful for the time and effort you and your confreres made to contribute to the improvements that have made the site into the useable format that it has today.
However with all due respect I think that you are now barking up the wrong tree.
At any time you could ring the friendly folk from the briefing room and they would tell you exactly what was going on and which NOTAMs were active,
The pilot was wrong and he has accepted that.
To suggest to claim that it was somebody else's fault would have been a bit of b*ll*x.
The fine and costs seem to have been a small price to pay for the transgression made, a wise lesson learned.

PS: Don't think you are entirely fair on HF for stating that he would not have known what was going on re the AIS just because he did not contribute to the threads. After all some people have a life outside PPRuNe and not the compulsion to be as prolific on here as you (and I!)
