This seems to be bending the truth more than a little. The comment to which you're taking offense appears only in the version of the summary that was posted to the list. In that respect, the only platform from which it was voiced was that message to the list - you've demonstrated yourself that anyone can post their opinion to the list, and so to claim that Piers' postings carry more weight than anyone else's is silly. The vehicle in which the comment was carried is one that you have access to as well, and one which you are quite accustomed to using to voicing your opinions. +Pete
