Odders, you are right…the post did achieve its goal.
While it did that, it also seemed to stir up some much needed interest in the forum and a few more people took to contributing to threads.(thank you for that).

There have always been some fractious relations between some members….and it is like adding pepper to the soup.
For some people it is too much, it for others it gives a bit of interest.

I know back then my nemesis was Jambutty……if I said it was day, he would contradict me.
These differences are to be expected and it would be a very boring place if we all agreed on a point of view.
We are each able, through the forum,to express an opinion.
Mine is mine and I do not require anyone to subscribe to it…..yours is yours and you are entitled to hold it….both of us are entitled to disagree and maybe even say why that is the case.
In the end, we have to respect the views of other posters….and play nicely or the grown ups will make us stand on the ‘naughty step’(oh yes and the step is innocent,it is we who are naughty).
