I remember him quite well.

This was a great ng, years ago.

Where are they now?

I still post from time to time, as I think do Martin and George. We know
why Will largely stopped posting, because he told us, and can make a
fair guess about why Philip stopped. And, of course, very sadly we know
why Mike stopped.


We had our distractors like nguk, redtube, and who could forget
matt the ego.

I'd like to see this ng become more courteous and professional again.

Sadly, it's unlikely to happen. But there's still plenty of good stuff
being posted if you skip the interminable AGW wrangles.


......but with careful use of kill-files and filters all of the unwanted stuff
can be eliminated very easily. I don't see any of it unless someone quotes it.
For me this is still a courteous and professional place. Perhaps I do
occasionally filter out some stuff that I would actually like to read but
that's a small penalty to pay to ensure that the unwanted stuff is eliminated.
