Oh for goodness sake get a life. The time spent bitching at Allan could far better be spent transcribing. The original demand to have the bouquets page updated was just that a demand. No please, no thank you, just an order for it to be done. Allan like all the rest of the trustees (and all the transcribers) is a volunteer. Why did the original complainant (or you for that matter) not offer to take over the updating of that page? As Allan does not get paid for updating the web pages, he is entitled to decide whether or not he ignores rude demands. I think he was justified in his response to both Mr Smith and to yourself. If you wish to insult him further why not take your complaints off list so that the rest of us don't have to read your petulant rubbish.
