That deserves a response in defence.

Large post snipped

As largely a lurker on here these days, I find it gobsmacking that people
can actually get het up enough to write enormous emails defending
themselves. Just let it lie, and I politely suggest get on with your life
outside the newsgroup for heavens' sake!

Richard - I completely agree. To spend so much time and energy
articulating a justfication or an argument (with people you'll probably
never meet face to face) when it should be spent enjoying a hobby is
beyond me.

50% of posts nowadays resemble a Jeremy Kyle blog site; where did the
newsgroup of 6 years ago disappear to?

Hey Joe, great to hear from you, how you doing?

To answer your question, people left - you, Richard D., Paul Bartlett, Dave
Reynolds, Phil Gurr to name but a few. When folk leave the character and
culture will inevitably change.

Cheers,

Will
