Hope this info is helpful to you.
Feel free to ask me any questions if you wish.

Hence my last paragraph. I assumed it had to be from someone who hasn't progressed up the ladder yet, but the comment was made as a statement of fact, which, (and I appreciate I am a new boy here) I would have thought would have appeared out of place on a board such as this.
Good on them though for taking an interest
