But how are they doing that, when you've put such a complex and ingenious system* in place to stop anyone from seeing who is on the passlist?

Still, never mind, no-one seems to bother reading or posting to URCM anymore (something to do with it being run by a tyrant who won't tolerate opposing views), so the "attackers" are wasting their time. You had numerous chances to improve URCM, and your arrogant dismissal of people's legitimate complaints has brought this about. Serves you right. Is this what you envisaged when you dreamt up URCM?

It *would* help if that were the case for URCM.

[* Replacing the last digit of the approval time with an "x"...it must have taken you weeks to figure that one out and implement it. Hey, for your next trick, why not replace the previous digit with an "x" as well? "If the medicine doesn't work, double the dose"...isn't that what all speed camera supporters think?]
