I take it, SC, that you fully admit the points I have raised and also the general thrust of my post since you did not attempt to contradict them. Good. Thank you.
To address what you did say – there was no hard information available from anyone connected with the sale as to how the arrangement would work out in practice. That sort of information is only available post facto from experience and sources like Flatchat.
