This is why I thought an evaluation system like I mentioned on DavidE's thread would work well. It gives sort of a glossy overview of a good or bad relationship and if the person who reads it is smart enough he would contact the contributors PM if he wants more detail. If I want more insight after reading a thread this is what I do.

The idea for some sort of "Rule" to deal with the EMF question was not my idea...it came from Ronan...but I must say I supported the concept strongly and thought a Thread to get some feedback was a good way to go. This question is, after all, the most frequently asked question on the Forum...and one to which we can only give weak and wishy-washy advice.
But yesterday I got this Press release which sheds some light on a vital development in this area:
Press Release...from The International Treaty for Sustainability (T.I .T.S)On Monday 16th November, the unarmed, peaceful Research Vessel MV "Rules" was sunk in an unprovoked attack by armed and aggressive Warships.
The MV Rules was conducting a peaceful research program off the coast of Chinaloveinfo when it was attacked and torpedoed without warning by 2 heavily armed Warships...HMS Trivial and USS Irrelevant.
The attack was fatal and the MV Rule was destroyed and sunk with the loss of all hands on board.
A spokesman for TITS said that it was unlikely that a salvage attempt would be made as the two warships were still lurking in the area and it was considered too dangerous.
Also mentioned was the negative effect this incident would have on the future success of a small country trying to grow and expand...."Chinaloveinfo would suffer as a result of suspension of further research", the spokesman said.
It is possible that questions will be asked in the United Nations Security Council, but it is unclear exactly who ordered the two warships - HMS Trivial and USS Irrelevant to open fire. There was a strong rumour that they were acting on instructions from a Third Party......the mysterious Organisation known as MR BIGEMF...(sometimes referred to as Mr Moneygone.)
Other sources suggest they may have been under orders of the neighboring Country...ChinaLove...which is known for its ruthless, financial exploitation of weaker countries. However , these are unconfirmed rumours and will likely be ignored by the Security Council due to lack of evidence.
The Australian representative, who has long been a supporter of organised research and knowlege increases was seen to make a huge yawn and reach for another coldie
