Keith -

1. Dave Gnome,
what 'the historians' say and parrots their texts ad nauseam

What the historians say is actually relevant to a discussion about history!
If you people could find an historian who agreed with you, you would do the same!

All the same point. You addressed me and then said 'you people'. How can that be anything other than referring to me?

2. Yes, OK. You have not used the 'you lose' comment on this thread. I am not one to hark back so I withdraw that.

3. The last point is pretty straight forward. You asked me to apologise for being unclear on what I meant. I did so. You have been equally unclear on a number of points but will not admit it.
