Oh, always a species of editor, of course - and once the actual man in the firing line, with my name on the masthead as `the editor'. But I don't like to overplay my management roles - people here tend to get abusive if I make any claim to any significant anything. You're one of the worst culprits for that sort of shittiness, as it happens. I'd be more open about things if you weren't such a nasty piece of work.

The above post is a prime example of one of your sneering snide posts designed to ensure that this newsgroup remains with a bad atmosphere. You're the turd in the corner, ensuring that the place always smells bad.
