No doubt, yet you come across as all-knowing, charging across the
landscape on your trusty steed. Wouldn't it then have been a rather
good idea to change the subject line? After all, it still refers to
Nic Gotto?

Couldn't Michelle Gotto have drawn the very same conclusions as I did
- as to your inferences? Since you had already firmly implanted both
feet into mouth where Michelle is concerned, don't you think that
might have been a good idea?

JT, your insensitivity, your braggadocio, your lack of compassion is
quite simply breathtaking. I think you need to take stock of yourself
before it's too late, but then that might well be the case already.
Sorry, that's a cheap shot but I really can't help myself on this occasion.

I suggest, as a start, that you re-read before sending something and
at least, at the very least, ask yourself whether what you have
written will be interpreted in the way you intend it to be. Mind, I
really don't know whether that'll do any good but it's a start.

It still doesn't seem to have dawned on you, in spite of all that has
been written, that Nic was a *pioneer* (but NOT testing a prototype)
on this thing, that its reputation as a seriously questionable piece
of kit HAD NOT YET BEEN ESTABLISHED (upper case to get your
attention). Hello? Are you reading the same posts that I am?

Tell me, do you read and seek to understand the posts of others before
putting either or both feet back into mouth? From this viewing angle
it sure doesn't look like it.

Now, would you care to answer my response to you as follows:
