How has it got to this?

FFS!!!! Whats the matter with folk like you Eric. You're always trying to be argumentative. Im not suggesting anything.

Methinks thou doth protest too much.

You're having a bit of a 'mare in this thread. You started by asking a stupid question while presenting this situation as a new development, which it obviously isn't. It's the sort of thing that's been going on for decades. So what was your motivation, I wonder? Very curious.
