Ellipsis - //andy-hughes, you seem to be suffering from what I've suffered from once or twice over the years, which is an addiction to forums and an inability to let anything go or your posts stand for themselves ... the need to keep making the same point over and over again because "somebody is wrong on the Internet". I'm sure you've seen the cartoon. What makes it all the better is that it is so bitingly accurate ...
In all seriousness, you might want to think about taking a break from posting. Not long, only a week or so. Lurk but don't post, and see how the world gets on without you. I've found it very helpful in the past ... //
I have posted on this site since the day it went live, and I have visited, and usually posted every day, barring illness and holidays, for sixteen years.
I have no intention of stopping at all, ever.
Thank you for your input.
