That doesn't mean the most senior person involved has to 'send' it out themselves, more often than not it is done by one of their staff BUT it still goes out in 'their name'.
I'm old enough to remember when people actually 'signed off' such official announcements, to show it was the 'official' position of that organisation and not that of someone acting without authority or permission.
This procedure is still adhered to in the social media age and any formal notifications of public bodies (of which the ST purports to be) are sent out 'in the name' of the most senior authorised officer involved.
How difficult would it have been for the Chair, Accountant, or the Barrister of the Steering Group to 'hit' the 'send' button and issue the statement themselves, or ask Jamie to issue it under their name?
I'll ignore your cheap accusation of me of being a WUM, because that really is utter bollocks.
As much as the ST may want to be a serious organisation, they aren't. It's clear their amateurs working this out as they go along, so all I'm saying is give them a break. Every time they do anything you criticise, even when it's a set of questions we all want answers to!
