"I'm afraid that your attitude to IAS reeks of being a member of some rather exclusive inner circle and comes over as being overly pompous. Sorry but that's how it strikes me"

I'm fine with that and I can understand you thinking that. I hold no animosity toward anyone feeling this way. I would also urge you to place my posts on ignore and thus those that don't gain from what I have to say or how I say it can bypass it. To each their own.
