Evening All! First of all my sincere apologies for not answering this original post before now but sadly I have been away on business with no access to IT.
I have received a response - in fact four messages! - from the originator of the personal messages and it is clear he thought that engaging by personal message was a more polite way of introducing himself rather than use the board.
So I hope you will forgive a misunderstanding and my tardiness of reply.
I will close the topic as I think it would be wiser for everyone to start from a clean sheet.
As always, constructive comments on items offered by manufacturers are always welcomed but I would like you all to remember that for a good many of our Membership (not just manufacturers), English is not their first language and also that a written message is always open to interpretation depending on your personal mood; an error of syntax or grammar can change a message too, in error.
Please continue to show your usual high levels of patience and tolerance and try not to get personal!

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!
