Okay, Roger, how much are you willing to pay me monthly to resist amusing myself by making the occasional humorous (at least to me) post on this thread?

Pay you not to 'hyjack' a thread?

I should not need to do that - are not our 'moderators' supposed to place special posting restrictions on any poster who is seen to do this?
Except of course for certain few favoured posters who are permitted and now actively encourged to do this and also our 'moderators' who are not only seen to indulge themselves in deliberate attempts to 'hyjack' threads - some of our 'moderators' intentionally litter threads with the spam posts that other 'moderators' are under the impression they are supposed to delete from our forum.

LH - I doubt if your attempts at humourous posts could be any funnier than this sad reality.
