I wasn't trying to put words in your mouth or judge you by my standards - I don't even know what you think 'my standards' are? I was asking you a question, it's as simple as that, I was asking what it would take to get you to help the 'amateurs' out. Clearly that's never going to happen.

I've already called you an expert on many occasion. I've only pointed out that the people that you call amateurs could probably do with the help of an expert like yourself.

At no point have I ranted at you. And if at any point you feel that I have then I'm sorry you feel that way. It wasn't my intention. My only motive for continuing to post on this thread is to get to the bottom of how inaccurate this list will be and therefore, how inaccurate our war memorial is likely to be.

I'm not an expert and would have no idea what I was looking for. If the list that has been produced was put on to the memorial I would treat it at face value - just as the majority of people would.

Don't say it won't be, if those who created the list had just looked at what they'd done they would have seen that there is only one U in Immanuel, never mind all the other errors.

I hope they do review the list now. I know the council officers read this forum all the time and I hope it does make them look again.
Obvious things like Immanuel might be spotted but others wouldn't be.
But even if I did look through it and look for mistakes I wouldn't know that someone was called Drummond and not Drunnond - there are lots of odd names around. I've just put Drunnond into google and a chap called Kevin Drunnond came up so obviously it's a real last name. How would I know that the Drunnond on our memorial should really be a Drummond?
And I certainly won't say it won't be wrong because I know for certain it will be, which is why I'm trying to encourage you as an expert to enlighten them.

I have read every single one of your posts and tried to understand what your motives were. I understand that you're upset about your previous work being plagerised, I would be too. I’m sorry if you think I’m ranting when I’m not – I only want it to be right when it’s up there.
