There has been posted speculation here today and as some of it is straying into legal issues, I've deleted these posts. Given that I'm one of the people involved and also a mod, I'm in a slightly trickly situation.

What I propose is that I delete the 'speculative' posts and if anyone has anything additional to add, please contact me by PM and I can reopen the thread.

As it happens, I have tracked down someone who knows someone who knows Richard and I believe he (Richard) is still recovering from his medical issues and is improving. If I hear anything more and have anything else to post, I will open the thread and post it here. I will be endeavouring to get a resolution to both my issue and that of others. I have not got my barrels back yet.

Contact me by PM if there is anything you'd like to discuss...
