I have found Richard Johnson to be very helpful when I have had dealings with him on other forums and he has provided both expert and beginner knowledge depending on the people he was replying to in equal measure.
At the end of day its Hornby's decision to go against current standards that have got them into this pickle and I believe hurt the DCC beginner more then "experts" coming out and speaking up against it.
DCC and Model railways are a global hobby and Hornby might not like not being number1 worldwide but they should do as the rest do and conform to standards that are set down and agreed upon.
Going their own way will long term backfire I feel.
