I am not sure if Higney's character is under assault here, as I haven't followed this thread today, but I just now came on the forums and fear this might be the case.
Just for the record, Mr. Higney has helped me out several times via these forums, and he doesn't even know me. I would say he goes "above and beyond," too, not just half arsed help.
Whereas most of us (myself included) prefer anonymity, it seems some folks here know him more than just screen name and avatar, and I think that takes courage. Whatever frustration you have, may very well justified (it also may not....), but to take things out on Higney I think is incorrect/inappropriate.
