“by all means, feel free to start visiting a new forum. Nobody should feel obligated to hang around here if they don’t like it.”

So Flood has apologised to Kev for any misunderstanding. I’ve cleaned up the thread. I wil raise Melvyn’s issue with the webbie who got back yesterday from a longish Christmas break. Those that want to contribute aviation topics are welcome to. Meanwhile I’ll lock the thread, explaining to Peter that repetitive moaning from the usual handful brings no benefits, but does get other peoples’ threads locked.
