I like jOhn...I like jOhn...however:

Are the last 2 posts by jOhn brilliant, as some have described his posts as being? I too like jOhn's wit, when he is sober (if in fact he has been drinking when he "types" some of his messages). I understand that he might have a drinking problem and made a New Year's resolution to cut down on the alcoholic drinks. I just don't think encouraging posts like the last two are helpful to him, if they are the result of too much drink. jOhn, your wit will remain sans the alchohol.

jOhn, please take this as it is intended. I think most people do like you (I do) and your posts (some of them). You are a Mudcat staple. If your typing is intentional and "tongue in cheek" that is fine, but if it is because you've had a pint more Guinness than you should have, you can bet that it will elicit those "crank" replies to your threads.

This reply is from someone who gave up drinking because of some of the foolish things done while inebriated.

Also, there are probably some typos and grammatical errors in this post (this is just a forum on the Internet, right?) and you are welcome to point them out.

jOhn, some of your typing and grammar skills are excellent and some, as exemplified by the last two, are not. Your mistyped posts may be funny to us, but probably not for you, if derived from too much alcohol. Sometimes you type and "sumtyme yu "tipe"

If you are the "Foster Brooks" of Mudcat and a comedian, then you have made your mark and fooled many of the rest of us. If you type in an alcoholic stupor, then please cut down on the drinking so we can have you and your wit around for many years to come.

I know, I have no right to judge you and I will never reply to another one of your posts if you tell me I am not welcome to respond. I respect you that much.

I like jOhn from Hull, I like jOhn……… one hundred times!
