don't even know.
I'm not so sure about the "many" bit, maybe I skip more of the posts
than you do ;-)

Comprehensive killfiling helps, but of those left standing, I don't
see an awful lot of what you say above, much less so than on the web
forums where you can't deploy the killfile so readily.

However if person A says "max did this and it's bad" and person B says
"max did this other thing and it's bad", it's wrong to blether on
about "everyone thinks max did this and the other thing" then paint
yourself as the only reasonable person, which is what AC tends to do.

Yeah, you are prob correct.
I don't really concentrate on who's who and get Peter confused with
Paul and the abusive contributors all sound alike anyway. I tried the
ignore thing but snipped replies can get confusing and I find myself
using google so I might kill the killfile. I'm slowly learning to
browse past the "I hate Max 'n Bernie" posts ;-)

beers,

Calm down, Max has gone. Interesting that all you do is bang on about
KERS and not the issue in hand. But then this is quite typical of

AC

Yes, but, AC, you continue to come across as the resident Mosely
apologist.
From this side of the screen, on the MM issue, you sound pretty "blah
blah blah" yourself.

Sorry, mate. That's just how it reads.

G'day Dave,
That's not how it reads mate, sorry.
As a newish poster to this group, I'd say AC's position is one of the
most reasonable here on things FIA. His seems rather pragmatic against
irrational hatred of a public body.

beers,
build
I'm with you, build. AC's opinions and "hang-on-a-minutes" regarding
Mosely have been well-reasoned, and reasonably offered, but, it is my
humble opinion, that he has strayed awfully close to the position of
Devil's Advocate, and been unable to see some of the negatives /in their
proper perspective/.

And welcome, build. I wasn't sure if you were a new "member" or not, but
your contributions have been appreciated.

Don't touch me unless you love me.
