Yep. Get's funnier by the minute. Summa the young 'uns got no stomach fer a fight.
Apparently, I'm the worst case of a troll Welsh has ever come across. Now how's that fer kudos!

Yes. I keep telling myself this very thing. You know how it is, things start to escalate and what can you do? Stop posting? Nah. Run with it and see what the cat drags in.
> There is way too much groupthink in all of these lists.
Ya mean the Royal WE as in a poster saying "We blah, blah...."?

I actually don't give toss whose child it is.

I don't believe you are.....but there are little band of happy workers would luv to do that for us.

I think they may have appeared now. Mine pop up within 1-2 minutes of SEND (usually). I suppose it depends on whether an ~Agency~ wants to intercept my mail or not.
> My retort against Alfred is a gem (Alfred and I also go way back, though

Certainly looks that way...the pretending bit.
> Since Phil is so obnoxious he isn't anyones golden hair child.
Robyn's gunna be sooo upset.

Don't we all do that? Here's a thought.....AncientFlame (self moderated) ! I'll put my hand up fer Co-List Holder. No holds barred. Nothing off-topic as long as the word ANCIENT appears somewhere in the text. Puppet Armies welcome. Be incinerated on entry! Sound good?

The one before that was while we were trying to formulate the first Draft of the Guidelines. Some of these people just don't read well, comprehension levels leave a great deal to be desired. Must be kids, I take it.
> I believe Rolf is real, not so sure about Andy though.
I'm pretty sure "Andy" is "Tony Kara....". I think a couple of pro-fake dealers put up sock puppets.

Yeah. I noticed that. Every other time one particular person replied you'd get someone applauding what he'd said. I just thought they were kids with poor reading skills.

Never posted to him. Maybe to a puppet tho......

Yeah. It gets rather bizarre. Thank God I cut my teeth on flame-driven BBSes.
