Can you not reply to Mr Damien please? If you want your entertainment

at
his expense, do it in a place where we don't have to read it. You may

enjoy
what you're doing, those who have killfiled him, like myself, do not

wish to
see anything with his name on it. We want to read the WR's, discuss OBS

and
argue the finer point of forecasting, we don't want to read your

needling of
the boy and his responses.


Well said, Rob.

I only hope that Col listens. I don't want to have to killfile him as
his posts are usually worth reading.

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.

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.

Respect the wishes of the majority.

Come on Col (and Lawrence for the matter). This has gone far too far.

Damien
is an utter idiot and doesn't deserve the respect or a reply from anyone.
I am big enough to admit that I was daft enough to respond and provoke,

but
I'm not going to bother anymore.
This has nothing to do with the weather, of which there has been plenty to
stimulate some interesting posts.
It's not about dictating to you either Col, if you wan't to continue
responding to Damien, great, but just find another forum.
You are the sort of guy we do want on this ng, because the bulk of your
posts are relevant and interesting.
Incidentally, I have a degree, meet MP's on a one to one basis regularly

etc
etc, isn't that interesting!!!

D was amusing for the first few weeks, but now he/she is just annoying
background noise.

I think the best way around the issue, is to ignore D, and if any
contributor to USW wishes to converse with him/her, then do so via e-mail.

He/she obviously has no interest in the weather whatsoever.

Banter is OK, but not nonsensical puerile rubbish, which is coming from D.
