David, I don't have time nor the inclination to deal with your petty single mindedness thought games at the moment. However, what I will say is that if you think you know better than solicitors, why don't you become one. At that point you can start preaching about such things to others. Until then, your opinions are only opinions and I don't have to take any notice what so ever of you. Welcome to /dev/null - since I can't handle the stress you're causing by this. It's nice and large and will contain everything further you have to say on the subject *until* OSDL have completed their own investigation into this issue. It's rather a shame that you can't be patient and work this out in a civilised manner isn't it?
