Hi Ed,

I for one do not see an ugly double standard here. For the most part
Richard does make sensible, in every sense of the word, posts, not
always complimentary towards myself I have to say, but readable and
knowledgeable. He is a person who has shown good judgment in my
view. If we threw this open to a ballot I think most here would
concur.

There are others who lack, and again I am sure that this is the
consensus, any reasonable judgment, they come on here and write
drivel. I think it is unfair to equate his comments or look for a
moral equivalence between them.

I do not think Mark is part of the problem either. He has not made a
post that betrays his education, his appreciation of opera, or
music. Far from it, he has managed I think, to neutralise the most
egregious posters with a degree of finesse.

I think someone should collect all of 'adolf the great's posts and
present them to Google Groups. He is utterly detestable... Of course
he can't win an award of any kind.

Best regards


John
