I can see logic in much of what you say Prophecyman but there is an undercurrent of vitriol in your posts which I presume is due to the spat you have going with this board, The effect is that such comment tends to devalue the impact of what you say by distracting us from the meat of you posts.

Defacto, we have had a change of management and cosequently Peter Copetti's directions. 'No plan survives the first contact with the enemy'. Given the proven technical ability and manufacturing ic experience of our new CEO & COO we should not be surprised that their greater insight must take precedence over PC's business vision. In fact we should expect this from our new aces in the pack.

Defacto, new plans, which undoubtedly will be adaptions of PC'S old plan, will take time to formulate and take time to brief and implement.

Personally I would rather time was taken to get this planning phase right because it is tremendously costly to reverse decisions once implementation is in progrss.

In all probability current stealth mode will be ultimately beneficial to us all if we can just hold our course and not be panicked by uncertainty and our over zealous desire for instant gratification.

So how about binning the vitriol of your FJ spat and keeping us in line with your hitherto balanced logic which I for one have valued in the past.
