The problem with you and me, Leonard James, is we agree on too many topics, so we seldom have an exchange, which is sad, because there is no poster, all the way back to the early days of the Beeb, I have enjoyed posting with more than you.
Now about the grit, I have decided to redirect the grit mostly to the topic at hand and not the poster, forums are supposed to be a non contact sport, but I tend to leave figurative bruises and lacerations on certain posters. Change comes grudgingly later in life, but I am optimistic about my chances.
Tomorrow, LJ, I intend to really let my hair down, and, yes, ladies, I am grateful i still have my hair, and start a thread about a topic that genuinely interests me, and on which, I must modestly admit, I am expert. In all my years posting, I've never nailed this topic down satisfactorily; the posts generally got knocked down on the BBC for being off topic and I never could find a category where the thread would not be off topic, or so the mods determined such, and later, on this forum when i could post on the topic, I was too jaded from past BBC experience to bother.
