Unfortunately, the truth is that, among all the gratuitous abuse, he does have a positive contribution to make, and he has some views that are worthy of being listened to (among others that are surely not). Perhaps, one day, we will be able to say that you made a positive contribution here, but I have yet to see one. All I see is someone who is trying to claim moral superiority over other people while standing on some very shaky, almost non-existent foundations.

Those who share my view are of course unlikely ever to waste their time corresponding with you. My lasting memory of your "contributions" here will be your seemingly authoritative comments about equipment you personally know nothing about and have never used, touched or probably even seen, except in online images. But that's the Internet for you. ;-) So you'll need to forgive me if I have some difficulty deciding who is the troll here, you or LOL!

It's a sad reflection that you appear to unable to distinguish, and have to resort to personal insults. You will have read what others think. All I'm doing is to try and make this a more pleasant place for everyone. David |
