Score points? I was merely trying to work things out to help me, and possibly others, to understand your post.

Why would I want to 'score points' against the Mudcat regular whose posts are always the most thoughtful and considerate, whose consideration of the views and opinions of others are always uppermost in what he writes, who is always ready to concede the posts of others when they carefully made and supported with facts; the Mudcat regular who always enchews insulting those he disagrees with, who never repeats himself or labours a point, is never contradictory, who carefully considers all the implications of what he has written on the feelings of others.... and would never say that he is leaving a post (exaunt or exeunt) only to return to if five hours later?
