and what exactly have you invested! raffles.

Rather than 'courage' and 'invest', you might as well say things like 'foolhardiness' and 'throw money down the drain'.

Or at least if you were as confident about the future of restricted numbers and plate values as your post would seem to suggest, then why are you getting your knickers in such a knot about people having their say about it?

Yes, I have, and that's why the evidence points to you finding the document via the private messages. The document per se provides no indication as to whether or when it was sent to the Sheriff Principal, nor that it was authored by JD, but the text of the private message does.

If you'd come across the document by accident (unlikely in itself) then you probably would have posted the link, but just wouldn't have said what you said on your forum at that time. It simply doesn't ring true, unless of course you read the contents of the PM as well, which concurs with what you said on the forum.
