Some confusion on your part, I think, because the post to which
you are replying was addressed to Stuart Crowe in response to
his rather silly and infantile gratuitous remarks directed at me.

You, however, seem to be F.Cooper, and the post to which you
reply was not addressed to you.

With a quick GoogleMiner session, neither your email addresses
nor your NNTP programs are the same.

Like a number of new contributors to this NG, you very rapidly
metamorphose into an aggressive challenger, for what reason
I do not know.

The answer to your question is that, yes, I never originate
personal attacks, I only ever assert the right of reply, and
the right of chastisement when answering posts that are
somewhat infantile as I did in the post to which you responded.

It is important that any self-respecting _REAL Radio Ham makes
a stand for decency and for civilised behaviour, a course of
action that I admonish you, in your turn, to follow.

Can you tell me who posted ( on Dec 21 at 3:47 PM):- the following:-
I am a decent, civilised, law-abiding citizen, I NEVER ORIGINATE
PERSONAL ATTACKS
