Well, 'GUEST' I'd venture to say that our vitriol towards you is because of your transparent attempt(s) to cause us some small annoyance by pretending ( - to nobody but YOURSELF, actually, as we arent fooled) to have a genuine & normal curiosity about funds, but SOOO quickly turn it around to an attack on us.

Forgive us (if I can speak for 'us', cos I shouldnt phrase it that way really) for being on our guard when somebody anonymous tries a half-arsed attempt to cast doubt on the integrity of people here, but thats because we have found that because when nameless people come here asking questions that THEY think will make us feel uncomfortable (or that will make newbies and/or occasional visitors think twice about this place) then they are invariably Trolling.

Now, can I ask, are you JUST trying to irritate us (though as you are coming back, its evidently not just a 'hit-&-run', so the least you are trying to do is see how many have 'taken the bait') or do you REALLY think you can do the Mudcat some harm, either so your site has less competition, as Lonesome EJ has speculated, or do you simply feel you'll be a bit better off by making others worse off?
