Southern Cross,
It's OK, no offence taken...I'm not that over-sensitive.
I really don't know. It wasn't my idea; one moderator suggested it to me, and when I ran it by two others at the Gatbash, they said it was absolutely fine. I think the general feeling was that I'd helped some people on PPRuNe in the past. I didn't know that actually; I just thought I was posting too much as usual.
But if you really want to know the answer, you'll have to ask the mods.
