One of our forum Moderators locked this tread, as he felt it was beginning to turn a bit nasty about an induvial - Personal view probably.
You can discus off topic items here, but lets keep it pleasant and polite.
I have realised it and deleted the one comment that caused the locking.
Topic will remain being monitored. :o
