I would also like to be informed out of pure curiosity first and for informative reasons second, of the aforementioned thread and the nasty things that were said there.
Perhaps the whole thread could be "frozen" by Nigel, not allowing further posts, so that everyone could see what "happened" but not allowing anymore word fencing.

Of course Nigel is the undisputed administrator and can do what he thinks suits the situation best.

Now if someone has the thread saved, I would very much like to read it. please drop a notice and i will give you my e-mail.
