Hell of a shout Richy.
There's little point about arguing about methods & emptiers and who’s doing what. Richy has admitted he's spent 1800 experimenting and has come out with a little something that isn't great but the fact is he was doing his own groundwork deserves a result. I'm sure he'll have had other good results in similar scenarios.
The fact is that the flow of information is responsible for bringing about the end of nearly all methods & 'fullys' There are many irresponsible people in this game, and whilst I hold no personal animosity to these types, I regard them in the same terms as global warming - ie they will both eventually have the same effect. I don't like to judge people, but when certain people get hold of information it is the start of a process that will see information go widespread very fast - there is no doubt about this. I don't like to see that happen whether I'm involved or not as it is ultimately bad for us all.
Kind Regards, Sir Linesman
