Well, wow, no wonder it took FMEA the time it did to produce and publish his very detailed and informative document.
As I expected the technical parts were above me but in assessing the document I came to the conclusion that what mattered was one's overview of what had occurred since October 2005.
May I say I do feel some sympathy for FMEA. He is clearly a very conscientious, knowledgeable person of the highest integrity, perhaps more so than the individuals he encountered in his mammoth struggle to have his concerns acted upon.
I see it as one man's fight against a load of bureaucracy as if all concerned have closed ranks on him.
I know that what I am going to say probably goes against the views of the majority of forum members. I fully respect your views, not least Pottsy. Having considered this matter most carefully I have come to the conclusion that I feel FMEA does have a valid point. That is my opinion. An opinion not based on my technical knowledge but a sense of 'right' and 'wrong'.

I'll now have some breakfast and take cover before the missiles head my way.

Thank you everyone.
