Hi GUEST Martin E.

I couldn't agree more.
I resigned my commission here a couple of years ago, but still GUEST under my real name.
Like you and many others, I have (and continue) to find all sorts of informational and illuminating info on these "foreign" shores.
I contribute nowadays, only when I have some decent input...(mainly flying the flag for McCann Duets!!)
Yes I do get tempted whenever I see Nic Jones' name appearing, but, it's nearly always only people enquiring about tab for Canadee-I-O!!
I do find it staggeriing to observe the amount of vitriol on this (and other) sites.
But, I think it is a useful device to try and understand the human condition.
As Claudius said in the Graves book
"Let all the poisons that lurk in the mud...hatch out"
My best to you and yours.
Hope to meet up soon
Regards Ralphie
