You are diverting from the thread but I will say this:

He took issue with my attempt to help, called us snobs and requested I not comment in his Diary and I should remove it. Also claimed he did not want comments. By removing the comment of mine it removed the replies. Per his request.

No need to comment because I already know you will automatically take the opposite view and it would simply further divert the thread.

Damned if I do and damned if I don't.

Thanks for your concern.

Tom.
