I do have to ask rwayne, why do you post? I mean I have literally no idea why you post. Your posts are just joyless direction free disagreement. Akin to Eeyore getting a laptop from Pooh Bear for his birthday. Do you actually enjoy posting?

Let me try and answer that for you then. If I see a comment that I wholly disagree with I'll say so. That doesn't make it 'snide'. People are allowed to disagree but some people will take a contrary view as 'snide' or aggressive (that not just meaning yourself - there are many) but that's a bit of a lazy way
to look at it.
If person A reads person B's posts in a particular way they will see it as that
without even reading what is written. Person B has written it must be snide,
person C has posted it must be aggressive. If someone is so fixed on that they'll read every post from that person in that way no matter how it's intended.
It's also fair to say if I do post something that I find funny I wouldn't expect everyone else to think it is... that is true for all of us. As for 'joyless' - that was really my point in my first reply in this thread.

I may try that line on my next standup gig, would you mind?
Well you asked me a question directly and I answered it for you... I'm all for that. The fact you choose to reply in a way that does, rather, reinforce my point is entirely up to you.
And that one.
Private argument soots? Or just a devious way of creating opportunities to hit that magical number of posts?
Now I am offended.
The idea that I couldn't find 7 spurious reasons for posting is ridiculous.
As this post is an example of.

It's a free forum Sootyj. If you don't like a particular thread you can always ignore it.
But while I am here, don't you just hate introductions along the lines of:
'this place looks great, can't wait to get involved' - and you never hear from them again!

I have no idea anymore 
But I don't think so.
Have enjoyed this thread immensely, love it when sooty goes 'dark side' and starts laying down the disses.
Wasn't aware I had a light side.
I'm like a Sith Lord in a bin liner.
