Bob, I apologise (publically) - you didn't 'wail' as such, but others
have; what you actually said was the best bit: "I can't see the point
of a near silent group."

OK fair enough.



Last thing I wanted to do was upset you - it was very decent of you to email
me in the first place!

Let me say one more thing, Bob - seeing a few more posts from you and
the myriad other infrequent posters and lurkers here will do more to
keep me interested in hanging around than being chivvied from arsehole
to breakfast by the Attack Pack! ;-)

I'm sure like a good many others I'm seriously put put off posting by
people who enjoy belittling others and being oh so superior. I thought you
were immune to such treatment, sorry about that.


It's not a question of being immune to it but more of being bored by it and
the effort of trying to keep up responses - which invariably ends up with
mistakes being made (typos, skimming posts) which adds even more fuel to the
flames!

I got into the thankless 'champion of the oppressed' position a long time
ago and made enemies trying to fend off the boorish behaviour but, tbh,
there is still the fact that they never posted anything! So **** it, let the
chips fall where they may - my OP remains the same as ever: I pay in the
same coin I am paid in!

I still need to see a lot more posts from other people here....
