  I agree with Pete, if there is a problem with the SI's then shouldn't it be pointed out? I would have thought trying to make the job of the protest committee a bit easier by cutting out... more

    He's posting this before the event and I'm sure will also be contacting the committee. If more poeple also do this, then there is a greater chance that there will be change to the SI's. He's taken... more

        Even if the technical content of the post was accurate and it may well be the side comments and inference was not necessary by the author "Pete". A forum is not the place to do it. I am sure an... more
