Col listens but will not be dictated to as to who he is allowed to

As it seems to be a dialogue, why not take it to e-mail?


Can you see that happening? I can't. There's an exhibitionist streak to
both of them in that they enjoy being the centre of attention, and this
"dialogue" seems to their way of doing it.


*Me* an exhibitionist?
LOL if you knew me in real life you wouldn't say that!

Col, listen, for the good of the newsgroup. Having this "I will not be
dictated to" attitude is being selfish. There's more reading and lurking
than you think, making out you can do as you please is doing you no favours
whatsoever and makes you look foolish. Have some respect for everyone
else's wishes and ignore the windup merchant Damien, cos thats what he is.


Yes, I know he's a wind up merchant. That's why I ignore the more obvious
goadings to get me involved in a *real* argument and restrict my replies
to good-natured banter. Oh, and I try to steer the conversation towards the
weather when I can.

But at the end of the day, I will reply to whoever I please in the manner in
which I please. In this case the manner is nothing more than having a bit
of fun. If you don't want to see it, fine. That's what killfiles are for.

Respect the wishes of the majority.


You have something of a reputation as a netcop, Mr Overfield.
Now I can see why.
