There's nobody left here now but us bickering kids and the odd cameo
appearance from the stars of yesteryear. Shame.
That's not true reginald. There are plenty of us here but we just keep our
heads down when the flak is flying not wanting to get involved in the
bickering. Starbge thing is that I can't for the liofe of me imagine what
that gentleman hopes to achieve except to ensure that his posts are
ignored - presumably not what he hoped.

Enyoy your paddling.

You too - see you on a river sometime.

Allan Bennett, plus ca change!

Obviously not...

In January 2001, there were 168 people who posted almost 600 messages.
This January, 2004, there were just 39 people and 52 messages. I would
say that 'kind of deserted' was a fair description of the situation.

And, as I recall it was your appalling, abusive and self-centred attitude (in
another guise) which caused much of the dissent.

Well I would suggest that your recallections are, as seems common in a
significant number of your posts, perverted to suit your own agenda
and you're mildly paranoid view of the rest of the world.

So far as I am aware no one other than yourself, your sometime partner
in crime Mr. Kemper and a weird chap going by the handle of safer21[1]
have ever complained about my posts, in any of my guises. Seems like
only you consider my attitude "appalling, abusive and self-centred
attitude" - usenet archives exist, prove me wrong.

Secondly, no one has ever publicly stated that they were leaving this
group because of my behaviour. Sadly, the same cannot be said of
yourself. Most of the frequent and informative posters left, many
actually citing you as the reason why. A few months after you turned
up, the numbers dropped off. Or is that just coincidence?

You should be happy Allan, you have what you want, a more or less
deserted group with nothing to get in the way of your tedious
soapboxing. Insanity is simply being in a minority of one, and you're
well on your way. Enjoy!


[1] safer21 was a kook, but at least he had the decency to realise he
was being a pain in the neck and either modified his behaviour or went
away. No such luck in your case.


QED, methinks.
