I have no idea who Joe's Offer's 'we' consists of do you?

There are an unknown number of anonymous volunteers and an unknown number of volunteers (with edit buttons) who are prepared for their names to be be known and to stand by their imposed judgements upon their fellow posters.

Until it is clear that Joe Offer has approached every one he claims to speak for and all of of them are in complete agreement with everthing he has stated here on their behalf - I will make the sensible assumption that it is only Joe Offer's personal (and perfectly valid) view. For this message was not contributed as an editing comment and to add further to the confusion - it finshes off with the following.

So, Shambles, I think that's a pretty good summary of your complaint and my answer.

So Joe - is this your personal view expressed as a fellow poster?
