I don't know why people keep rising to the bait. Conrad has been known in many forums for a long while and for the same reasons. Here is a quote from part of a thread from r.m.c dated 30/05/99:

"Trish: ignore the insane ravings of Conrad Bladey and, for God's sake, don't reply. All that asshole wants is to stir up a fight. Everyone who regularly reads any Irish/Celtic newsgroups knows who (and what) he is."

Perhaps some of us could do with heeding this advice.
