I am aware that the written word sometimes translates poorly, but my
intial response to reading this was what a "condescending, unhelpful
and uncaring person".
Some people here are having problems, we must be the petrol sniffers

20 extra pages...
A rule book that was self contained...
My my we are such outrageously demanding, paying customers...
Sorry for the cynicism, but I found it very annoying.
