cassa - // 1. Corbin is yesterday’s man but clinging on until the next one takes over and so he will pontificate till he is dragged kicking and screaming out the door. //
I would agree - although Corbyn has never come within a country mile of actual power, he has still enjoyed more power than the rest as Leader of the party, and the Opposition, and I think he will find it hard to be irrelevant now. I mean, he has actually always been irrelevant outside his own mind - but now even the illusion that he matters is going to be stripped away from him.
// 2. Personally I have no idea who the moderators on this site are but imagine they have every right to do the same as us. Chat, talk rubbish or sense and debate on any subject or post that interested them. //
Most of them have the good sense to stay under the radar, but yes you are right, they can do as the rest, and they, (and I), do so with enjoyment.

naomi - // Other known mods here don’t encounter the criticism you say results from your badge and it reflects badly, and unfairly, on the members here to suggest they do. //
You appear to have nominated yourself as resident arbiter of comments made about Moderators in general, and myself in particular.
In order to clear up any misunderstanding for you, and the extremely small number of others who may be interested -
I am perfectly willing to accept the criticism I receive from whomever for whatever reason - when you post as often and as much as I do, then that criticism is exponentially increased.
If the criticism is of me as a Moderator, or of me as an AB'er, I respond accordingly and individually.
I do not lump all criticism of me as a Moderator with everyone who posts - as I say, a seriously small number even care at all - so your assumption that I do is entirely of your own imagination.
Is the criticism I receive of my own making? Of course it is! Everyone's is, including yours - but for some unknown reason you have a Pavlovian response to point out that I am in some way complaining about my lot, which if course, I am not.
For you, and the three people who actually care if I get criticised or not or what my responses are, or you think they should be, let me be clear that I couldn't care less, and maybe you should care a lot less as well.
That will stop your knee jerk need to leap onto any thread concerning criticism of me, with your tut tutting standard response. Anyone who cares has already read it several times, maybe it's time to just let it go now.

Phew, I've been deposed as stalker in chief in the mind of the mod, I now officially pass the baton to Ms 24 and wish her full sails in her voyage.
Choppy waters (no relation to Roger) lie ahead but resolve will see you through. (Other hangover cures are available)
There'll be no shortage of wind I'm sure. :-)

I’ve long thought that the wordier contributors to this site (they know who they are), are probably competent touch-typists, capable of rattling out 80 words per minute. The trouble is, such competence does not lead to brevity. One-fingered typing, on the other hand, leads to choosing fewer (and shorter) words, and I recommend it.
in his voluminous comments; in fact I think he might be paid by the word.

I would love to manage eighty words a minute - my best was forty wpm, but still best in my class at college all those years ago.

I wish!!!
