    Let me make it very plain here, that I am not talking about, or including, those that have bought a square yard of the Highlands for a bit of fun in the following:-

    Yes I understand John's reasoning too and whilst physical threats are an extreme reaction from an inadequate person to having his vanity pricked, it is the risk that any one takes when treading on sensitive toes. And when all said and done, this new website is all about deliberately treading on the very sensitive toes of inadequates!

    Point well taken, Jock. I really don't have a feeling one way or the other on the author's identification -- or lack thereof. Just offering an observation.
