Precisely and that is what I was saying. There is no argument there. I was questioning the issue of i/p. You are talking about conflict of interest which I alluded to above in my previous post. Others including Tony brought up the issue of I/P which, is an entirely different kettle of fish altogether.

And did I not mention that? See above. I acknowledged that your materials were reasonably entitled to the protection afforded by copyright and the principles of i/p. Knowledge of how to ride fast is not.

That is fair enough - I don't have any truck with that and I don't think anyone else would either.
I really do wish people would properly read what is written.
