Gareth can't stop, causing trouble on Usenet is this perverse compulsion
of
his.

Yeah, I could live with his nonsense as I find it rather harmless. It is
when a few here get their jollies by provoking him that it really turns me
off. Sure, correct him when he is wrong, but why turn it into a public
spectacle?

In fact....you are now in danger of brian and steve starting on you because
of your benign attitude to gareth .....
