You're absolutely right, David.

The difference with here is that we don't have to, or choose to, 'toe the party line'. Neither Steve Toy, nor I, or any of the management team owe any loyalties to anyone in the industry or otherwise.

In short, we have no vested interests on AOS. Therefore, everything and everyone is open to scrutiny, so we tell it as we see it honestly and with no holds barred… This is why discussions here are often more 'searching' and have more substance than sometimes you get on other forums. We're not protecting any agendas!

It's not always comfortable reading for followers of whatever or whoever is under scrutiny, but it's the only way of getting to the nitty-gritty!

'Safe' we don't do - we like to push boundaries. Things are much more interesting that way!

Marco.
