Gold, Silver, Bronze awards..Steve Firth, AstraVanMan, PC Paul

Aww shucks, don't....

Lordy wasn't anywhere till recvently. In fact I don't really recall seeing him here at all until you came along trying to live up to him.

Maybe I plonked him first time I saw him, who knows.

Indeed. May I refer you to my recent statement...

"I've now probably made more posts here in the last week or so than I have in the last two years, I'm sure sure all the regulars here will be lining up to thank you because of that :)))"

I've not seen it, is that in .misc ? Busy for a couple of hours, might drop in and have a look later.

It is, almost 500 posts, you should have been there! Steve Firth was

'cos he was right.

Anyway that one's long dead now.

I've had this window open for ages, ready to reply, and can't honestly remember what I intended to write, only that I thought twice about feeding the quasi-troll that is "Lordy. UK" (with the space, yes, don't think we haven't noticed), but contrary to popular opinion, I actually think he's becoming marginally less annoying than before, so I'll merit this with just a brief reply:

Wow. A silver medal. I've never won a medal before.

A *little* less annoying, maybe. Still nowhere near the subtlety required for a true troll.

But what's this 'few choice comments'? I thought I made some very well argued points that served to keep the thread simmering along nicely for ages longer than it's natural lifetime ;-)

It *was* a good debate (all 400 odd posts of it):)

Lordy.UK

There's many an hour to be wasted reading through old usenet threads/debates.

Yeah, this life thingy goes on far too long anyway...

Indeed, particularly at work :)
