I think that your complaint is with those who have introduced the
unwelcome arrival of abusive personal remarks, and not with those
of us who speak out against it, and in support of decent, adult,
civilised behaviour. (Something I recommend to you yourself in the
light of your tendentious remarks above, BTW)

Ignoring the issue of pots and kettles, I will say I sort of agree with
Gareth in that the problem is not really the nonsense that comes out of
his mouth... er keyboard. The problem is the reaction that it stimulates.

I won't try to figure out if Gareth is a troll in the true sense of the
word or if he is just a very strange person who can't seem to
communicate well. The point is that the topics he brings up are well
worth discussing.

So I have to say I am a -1 on the idea of deleting all threads Gareth
starts and certainly I'm not going to kill a thread just because he
posts some sort of nonsense. Rather the problem is responding to him
with personal abuse (even when it would seem to be justified) rather
than just responding to the technical content or just not responding at
all.

If you want to bug anyone, the best way to do it is to continue the
conversation with others as if that person were not here. It would be a
big help to the rest of us here too.

Btw, I have learned a lot from you guys. Being a slow learner
sometimes, the repetition has been very good.
