Ian, I know you think I'm as bad as Chapman (or at least you did), but your posts about him are truly amazing. I couldn't possibly have put it so well. You've hit the nail right on the head time after time, and the best thing is that he can't just dismiss you as a "troll" or an "outsider"...he has to actually address your points rather than hiding behind excuses not to. You've even got him to admit something that he was lying about, which is something that I didn't think possible (just look at the Lou Knee saga...even when he's bang to rights and everyone knows he's guilty, he's *still* too proud and obstinate to admit it).

Bravo Ian. I may not agree with you on transport issues but you've got Chapman's number possibly to a greater extent than anyone else (including his wife apparently, since AFAIK she hasn't yet left him, though at least she's now telling him to wear a helmet).
