Dear All,
Thank you for your comments. Your views will enable me take my arguments
forward. And it maybe that I will have to sit back and watch the complaints
come rolling in.
But at least I tried.
With kind regards,

You are correct!
But you will loose the argument.
Put your advice in writing, sit back and wait for the complaints.
If you check the list (at www.jiscmail.ac.uk) the topic has been discussed
