Well here's me sitting up on the fence.
KJ, you can not KNOW at all. He's in the US (I believe) and you're in Scotland. You have an opinion and you have voiced it so now let it go.
queeq, nicely put, now that gains you brownie points!
Gundy, Thanks!
Merc, As I live in England and you live in the US I can't say what the story really is. As I said before, I hope everything resolves itself satisfactorily for you, whatever the issue is.
ALL, Just chill out and stop throwing wild assumptions and guesses around. Save that for the Star Wars discussions where it's welcome!
Merc is either a person with a serious medical problem or a serious emotional one. In either case he is deserving of our support during this trying time and the constant bickering is both worthless and hurtful.
Finally to Raz, Dim and UBH: In my humble opinion as a user of this board, I feel that this kind of name calling and baseless accusations should be considered as being Unacceptable Usage of the board. This isn't queeq and I bickering, or something similar. This is mindless attacking of someone who may well have a very serious medical condition. Whether he's being a pain in butt at times or not, he deserves our support be his issues physical or mental.
I therefore implore one of you to take some positive action to put an end to this kind of abuse.
Like I say I am just a pleb on the ground using this thing and if you choose to not act then that is your prerogative.
