Sadly Andy it doesn't inspire debate of the kind the thread topic needs but that of your choosing - and it's tedious beyond belief.

"It's a number of things - stamina, tenacity, enjoyment of debate, strength of character, confidence in being right almost all the time ..."

Coupled with modesty and deference.

Tried Ritalin? It can help with that obsessive thing that can grip someone. I've seen it up close.

LOL @ Douglas. Hit the nail on the head there, right enough.

For some reason you, and a couple of others who I am sure know who they are - hint, they are on this thread, seem to imagine that by posting as I do, I have some sort of control over the direction and tone any thread will take.

I am unsure why I am singled out as having this magic power, but the truth is, I respond to what I see in the same way that everyone else does.

If you don't like the way a thread goes, and you seem to blame me for that, then you are of course at liberty to say so, and of course, I am at liberty to tell you that I am taking lots of no notice.

Well done - thrilled for you.
