Trust you to pick up on a comment about genitalia.

> Nuxx: would you say something like that face to face with Pedt?

Yes, if he'd said the things he's previously said about me to my face.

Anyway, you say "something like that" as if what I said was a grave insult, when it really wasn't...only a few weeks ago, I jovially accused a colleague (who I get on very well with) of dick-sizing because he was going on about having a better computer than another colleague (something I always find particularly silly). Everyone laughed. No problem. I'm sure that Pedt wasn't remotely bothered by what I said, if he even read it.

There *are* things I've said on here that I wouldn't say to people's faces, certainly, but you've picked a bad example.

There rarely seems any point in trying to reason with you, but there you are, I've had a go. At least the post I was responding to was intelligible and vaguely interesting. I'm afraid that reading most of your posts makes me feel cheated because I feel like I've wasted my time and gained *no* useful information whatsoever. By the sound of things I'm not the only one, so you can either say I'm "not being nice again", or you can take the advice that I and others are giving you, because though you might think I'm just doing it to be horrible, it's very unlikely that Geoff Berrow is being horrible when he criticises your posts...I don't think he "does" horrible.
