You certainly are a Pip!!

I was not "challenging" Jim's statement about 1000's leaving, but asking why something has not been done about it by those who are leaving. YOUR statements made some implictions that I also questioned the inevitable results that you claim would occur.

Simply asking questions should not be grounds for you to start a linguistic challenge. This is not an arguement as you claim, this is a discussion with different points of view being raised and questions asks. I am not saying that you or Jim are wrong, just wondering why you indicate that it will occur.
