Michael: I had no intention of slighting the lawyers involved, and think they managed to achieve a reasonable outcome for you.
I concede I like to use strong words to emphasize a point, so for 'aiding & abetting', please substitute 'going along with' or 'turning a blind eye to'.
(and I acknowledge & accept the reasons why they did it)

However I took your long first post as almost an attack on people who took a principled stand on such issues - hence I waded in to the thread.

Are you energetic enough to respond to Stan G's latest comment in this thread - I could not be bothered, as if he cannot see the stupidity in the Thai governments actions, I have a strong suspicion I will end up banging my head against the wall. (just wondering, could it be the return of Trep? :)
