Poor? You're a very generous man Mr Wilky.

Most of it is nowhere as good as 'poor'.

Being anything like right would be a great start.

Discussion is good, dissemination of information is what a forum is for obviously, repeating other people's knowledge while not understanding it fully and in the wrong place doesn't help - this happens too often.

Fizz: Did it not mean 'Big Ape Sound Advice Test'? As in; information supplied should be able to pass a reasonable test of its validity.
