You're right, I'm sure Chapman isn't the slightest bit bothered by this thread. He's always gracious and honest in defeat when proved utterly wrong.

Bless. Chapman coaching you on what to say now? Why don't you tell him to say it himself rather than being such a coward and hiding behind you? Like Bin Laden hiding behind his wife, isn't it?

Any evidence that there are fewer unique posters now than there were "then"? I agree that some of the more intolerant and extremist car-hating posters have run off to the censored URCM sanctuary, or left Usenet altogether, but I don't see that as a bad thing. They have been replaced with largely better posters. URC is now much more balanced in terms of opinions than it was then, and people on either side can now say what they think without running the risk of organised bullying campaigns being launched against them.

I realise that some are not happy with that, but that says more about them than it does about anything else.

Anyway, I'm bowing out of this subthread now. Tell Chapman that if he wants to try to derail this thread (despite "not being bothered" about it, honest) then he'll just have to be very brave and do it all by himself. Even with you so loyally fighting by his side, that's still only one supporter that he has on this group, and only one person who agrees with him that I am a menace to Usenet who needs to be stopped from posting, despite the very different picture that he so likes to paint.
