You are clearly irritated and defensive and so I shall leave you with your own opinion. I would hope that I might be left with mine and cannot understand why respect cannot be shown to someone who holds a different, albeit possibly mistaken view. Isn't the purpose of an internet forum one of discussing differing opinions?

If you have an informed, well researched, well constructed alternative strategy then you need to present it effectivly. You might then influence the outcome. Confrontation is seldom effective. I have merely stated that I do not intend to go to the meeting because I believe the EH proposal to be the right one. I have therefore nothing to argue against - I support it. Iam entitled to hold that view or any other as I see fit - You are not obliged to agree with me or I with you. I shall continue to hold that opinion until someone convinces me of the folly of so doing. Nothing I have read here or elsewhere comes anywhere close to changing my view and so I very much doubt that you will change the intentions of EH. You seem to think so too.
