Noreen, bet you a pint you have met him, or at least been in the same room as Spot. (Manchester)I've enjoyed Spot's company and singing in PalTalk, as well as his presence here. Spot, I think you took the "getting off on the wrong foot" far more seriously than anyone else did because you have a conscience. I have doubts about the consciences of others who intentionally start trouble on a repeat basis, but I'm not concerned enough to dwell on it. I'd be more inclined to think of self-editing as giving Mudcat a break, rather than the person who started the mess. The comments people make affect far more people than the intended target.
