It is difficult to see how there can be any justification for the accusation that what I post is so distracting to the main purpose of this site - for almost everyone posting in this thread now seems to claim that they either skip or don't read my posts.

In that case (and if they can be believed) we are at least halfway there..........All that has to be done is to ignore the rest of the posts from other posters that are not to your tastes and not to post only to judge them or respond in kind to them and there will peace on our forum at last.

And no excuse for any known or anonymous moderators to impose their judgement and abuse their fellow invited guests - in order to protct them from abuse.......

And as those who skip my posts won't be reading this - they won't ever find out that this was always (at least in part) pretty much the whole point.....
