Thanks for all of the varied responses.
I do however take exception to my note being described as either a wind up or f***ing rude. The only thing rude was those statements.
Whilst I am no longer a prolific poster on this forum, due to both personal circumstances, I now have a 1 year old son who takes priority, and I favor another forum, i do keep an eye on this forum and as I do a number of others.
I felt I was well within my right as a member of this forum to request the information that I have and am content with some of the responses.
Because I am entirely unclear where the money I could invest would be going, I am afraid I won't contribute, but I do wish the forum well and will continue to look in from time to time.
