That's one way to interpret the course of events - I suppose. I OTOH,
thought we had brought that conversation to a conclusion with my last
post on it being late on Friday morning. Looking back though I see that
you replied shortly before midnight - some 12 or so hours later, long
after I'd packed-up for a lo<----->ng weekend. By the time I was back
on about Wednesday I'd obviously missed your reply amongst the 100s of
new posts - I'm sorry. However if you think there is more to be
discussed I'll happily open it up again. ;-)

"John B" you can use ngs however you see fit. Ignore the bully's
attempts to stifle discussion. They like their views and opinions to
dominate. They cannot bear others going off-message. Notice how
despite their troll accusations, and strident proclamations of the
killfile being their closest companion, they do not miss a thing. Every
chance they get to attempt to disrupt other's discussions, which
obviously cannot include them (having declared holy kf), and bring the
limelight back to themselves they take.

I'm sure, but please don't include me in the troll category.

I'd say that the desperate tactics in this case, to discredit one
person's genuine views and opinions, are a disgrace.
Now back to the apparently unfinished business elsewhere... ;-)
