Yes I can see how one wishes to congratulate Jim, and every sucess to him and all... I'd certainly wouldn't knock that; as of course only too often unfair 'Cr&p' falls at these good and very genuine, much needed persons.

However I tentively worry, for if it it right and proper - which most have to feel it is - to congratulate them on their' fine services, indeed implying that the Libs, and good returns are down to the 'Race Controllers etc. then the other side of the coins follows that bad results, and liberations could rightfully be laid at the same door. I don't believe this for a moment.

Ofcourse I don't believe that for a moment, but the door is left ajar...

There obviously can't be a great 'Understanding' Liberation until 'How they Home' and 'What actually instigates 'Bad returns' and 'Smashes' etc. are fully understood, which then can be treated accordingly.

Until then though one can only rely upon 'Phones' down the line, weather forecasts and experience of course.

However thanks to Jim and ALL the race control teams up and down the length and breadth of the country, for we need these brave men who give up their' time placing much effort on our behalf.

Thankyou to you all.... a thankless nad all to often an unrewarding task i fear.
