I'm glad the atmosphere has changed for the better. I did state that the information I had may be old, so was trying to be fair and not imply it was unchanged.

I have to admit to a perverse nostalgia for the heated posts from those days - some complained about the situation, others (no doubt the culprits) defended the behaviour with equal fervour. But it was truly an intolerable situation for anyone wanting to learn something. 

Aah, the beauty of history... that doesn't repeat itself :-).
