It's like this in *upland* Devon with no snow in most lowland areas.

Will didn't say that there was snow in lowland Devon. Since Hay Tor /is/
in Devon, I can't see that Will's subject line was wrong, and it could
mislead only the most hard of understanding (which hopefully doesn't
include anyone on here). Why don't you forget the grudge that you seem
to bear towards Will? It only makes you seem petty.

Grow a thicker skin would be my advice; or don't post on usenet; or come and live in Devon and look out on no snow whatsoever when someone less than 20 miles away is saying that Devon is a winter wonderland.......yet again an exaggeration As I said, most of it isn't. I'm just putting the record straight. You don't like it? That's not a worry; you are entitled to your opinion, as is everyone - including me, Col. *))







The problem is that 'Winter wonderland in Devon' could mean snow



everywhere in Devon, or there is a place in Devon with a winter



wonderland. Will's text shows which interpretation should be used.

Yes. That's why I changed the *title* and said that by no means is Devon a winter wonderland.

I left the group?? What an odd phrase. Think about it a little.

It still isn't snowing in most of Devon and it isn't a winter wonderland in the bulk of Devon.

I do really think it's time to change the record, you are beginning to get
boring!
I have disagreements on here with lots of people but I don't bear grudges
life's too short.
Just move on for everyone's sake!

If you're going to post such cobblers will you at least format it

What a foul little thread this has turned into with some people using it to re-iterate their hatred and hobby horses.

Dennis, that's exactly how it started with me and you won't be able to ignore them. Leave now would be my advice and don't post again, unless there's a good reason. Hughes and others like to make up stories about people who don't fit their idea of how people should act and be and that's fine, but don't lie, Hughes and moderate your foul language would be good advice for you to follow. I never regret finding out exactly what people like you are like.

I "left" for very different reasons - it just got boring, with same things trotted out week after week and any deviation from that, though the number of posts and post views were far higher in the threads of interest, drew the same incredibly boring and predictable reaction from some old people, who I realised I just don't like and are not worth spending time discussing anything with; so I didn't any more.

Things move on and so do newsgroups. Good luck to those who I got on with, but I know from your emails that you feel the newsgroup lacks a great deal now and the fall in the number of contributions reflects that - like it, or not, dear vultures. Some of you won't read this post, as you've left, I know. It's mainly a list of weather reports (excellent though, Colin and Darren - two reasons why I still visit and thank you both) and one far right-wing old nutcase. Like I said, I have no regrets leaving others - although one actually followed me and stalks me elsewhere! That's really very flattering and about as scary as being stalked by a dead sheep. *))
