Fine Fred, clearly Rod rejects nothing, but puts it away in a file. Which he then produces now the subject is dead.

Are you saying nothing would have been done with this file if Derek hadn't mentioned it? Kept ad infinitum?

And I ask again - who else are there files about? And what do they contain? And are they kept with the Data Protection Act in mind?

Ask permission from the correspondents to publish their names and anyone who refuses to have their names published withdraw the allegations. You of all people Fred should be aware of the dangers of publishing anonymous material.

Rod is aking for "concrete examples......." Strange way of behaving to my mind, publishing the allegations and then asking for the evidence.
