I see. It wasn't clear to me that fiddler is to be classified as a troll. (Dare I mention that I am too new here to be able to make such a judgement? Don't hit me!) :-) I thought he was just one of the regular posters, who, like Slip Disc, is just getting very angry at me at the moment (for no reason that I can understand). If he is a troll, then yes, of course, I will do my level best just to ignore him. Is it OK if, for the moment, I continue to give him the benefit of the doubt? I am quite willing to be guided in matters such as this with which I am not familiar, so, if it is made completely clear that absolutely any further contribution by me to this thread would effectively just be noise in the group, then I will comply with the instruction to "desist". > On Jan 18, 8:47 am, Twirlip <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On Jan 18, 2:37 pm, Ian Pollard <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Twirlip, accepting that you were provoked by Fiddler's accusations, please > > > desist from responding to this thread. > > > Sorry, no.
