Seems reasonable, but if Brooke and Chapman disregard the URCM creation RFD whenever it suits them, I doubt they're going to pay any more attention to the UNNM one.

It's "important" for Chapman because otherwise, bizarrely enough, no- one can distinguish the forged anti-motorist rants from his actual posts. Which he hates, because it shows that he is, despite protests to the contrary, a car-hater.

No idea why Brooke bothers, since he's self-admittedly never been forged, but I guess that like a lot of the past and present URCM "moderators" and their supporters, he has a vastly overinflated sense of importance, so obviously everything he posts is also important (and putting Latin where English would do is just one way of showing that).

(I guess Brooke considers what I've just said to be an "utterly horrible corrosive comment".)

If that's not dick-sizing then I don't know what is.
