Point taken Bill, and I apologise for jumping to the conclusion that you hadn't followed that route of privately discussing the inaccuracies.
All I can say about Clive is manically obsessive about this industry in the same way you yourself are. Face to face you won't find a more genuine,helpful and decent guy (with a wiff of mad scientist thrown in).
I don't think responses would have been the same if everyone knew the full facts.
Without them I think you can see why people would jump to certain conclusions Bill and I'm bound to jump to Clive's defence as I've known him in business since the 90's and he's always come through with tech support and always treats people as equals.
