edits his previous comments to deny his errors
I have contacted Claire and asked for an audit trail check to show that when I edit a post I add a note saying that I have done so. For the sake of clarity I have NOT edited any post in order to change the sense or meaning of that post.
On the subject of status I have already posted that I have requested Claire to carry out a check on my claims in order to prove, to her satisfaction, that I am what I say I am.
I note with interest the following posts by you.

Do you want this site full of morons or people with professional legal qualifications who have the rights of audience in court, that come from an automotive background and are regarded as experts in vehicle dynamics who cut their teeth as test drivers for major manufacturers? Well? You tell me what you want and I'll decide if I wish to stay - wouldn't want to stay where I wasn't welcome.

I was considering taking on pro-bono cases such as that ladies daughter but at the moment I am not confident that a professional association with Safespeed will help futher road safety.
The second quote states very clearly that you were considering undertaking pro bono work here. My understanding of "pro bono" in a legal context is that it means that a properly qualified legal professional will undertake legal work free of charge for the public good.
Taken in combination with the first of those quotes it leads me to the conclusion that you are either a Solicitor, Barrister or a Fellow of the Institute of Legal Executives with a background as a test driver. There is no (lol) or any similar addition to suggest that this another joke on your part.
If my assumption is correct you would be of great value to this forum and if my leaving here would enable you to stay, then I will do that for the sake of those who post here looking for advice.To assist me to make an informed decision I would be grateful if you would answer the following questions in a clear an unambiguous manner.
Do the above remarks about a person with "professional legal qualifications" apply to you?
If so are you a solicitor, barrister or FILEX ? For the benefit of those outside the system a law degree is not a "professional legal qualification" and does not carry "rights of audience".
If you can truthfully answer yes to both of those questions, please contact Claire to arrange a check of your status. For the sake of clarity I have arranged for Claire to contact colleagues of mine to verify my status. I have also offered to meet with Claire or one of the moderators to show them my HMCS photo ID card.
Please understand this is not wind up, it is a serious post aimed at ensuring this site continues to grow in status. The issue of road safety is more important than either of us.
If I have interpreted your posts correctly, as soon as Claire confirms your status I will cease posting here. I am sure you can rely on Claire to keep your name and status confidential.
If I have not interpreted your posts correctly, I am sure others here would be as interested as I am to find out exactly what you did mean.
