Oh, and BTW Ebbie, if you want to quote me, no problem - knock yourself out - but please use the quote in full and in context.

What I said was:-
"I don't know who you are either, Gnu, I haven't a clue, but I'd like to. I'd love to find out if you really are the twerp you give the impression of being on here. I have a strong suspicion it's all a big act and you're not as stoopid and boorish as you want us all to think you are! :-) :-)"

Now I believe that the whole quote indicates that I was trying to be conciliatory and lighthearted, and I believe that anyone who isn't personally acquainted with Gnu and/or taking his side in the argument can see that too, whereas your isolation of the 'stoopid and boorish' bit was nothing more than an attempt to 'stand up for' Gnu and somehow make me the villain. I thought better of you.
