That is very gracious of you Steve, and I thank you for it. >>> I am pretty sure from the thought that you do put into your posts that they are considered responses - and I get the impression (and I may be wrong) that you are deliberately provocative. <<< The first part is patronising. Of COURSE I give consideration to EVERYTHING I 'contribute'. The second part is both incorrect and patronising. I am offended by both comments. Was THIS deliberate Steve? >>> But in my opinion the list would be better if you cut out some of the most provocative, personnel and trolling aspects. <<< You say I'm entitled to express my viewpoint. So when I read the 'Forlan/Veron/(Whoever) is shit' posts I state that not only are these comments bollocks, but the 'postees' must be know-nowts, for, plainly, neither footballer is, or could in any way be described as, 'shit'. Does that make sense to you Steve? >>> But you have seen more of the greats, and not so greats, than most (all?) of us - and you could occasionally wander over and have a game of darts with some of us youngsters, without moaning about artificial flights, the disappearance of the Manchester board and the music on the jukebox. <<< I've been going to Old trafford since 1954 and thus have seen a large number of good and great players in the Red shirt (I've also seen some who were quite definitely no better than myself - playing for Manchester United). I DO, and always have done (I've been on this List for a long time), attempt to impart whatever knowledge I may have about the Club, the Players and the History of Manchester United. But that does not mean that I can (or will) sit back and allow total know-nowts (who will piss off when the bad times return - my word on that) to post shite without it being questioned. Over the years my style has drawn a number of complaints. I care not one jot. Manchester United is NOT a 'hobby' with me, NOT a 'passing fancy'. If you, Steve, don't like my 'style' don't read my posts. Simple as that. Until the List Committee decide to ban me you (and all the others) will just have to put up with it. >>> No, but by calling anyone with whom you even slightly disagree a "know-nowt", when a "know-less" or even a "know-different" would be more accurate, you do somewhat forcefully imply that they should shut up. <<< Dealing with the last point first. If Listees are so 'inadequate' and 'inferior' that they would 'shut up' because of something I said then they really should find another hobby. If people post stuff on this List which TELLS me that they know NOTHING about the game then I WILL refer to them as know-nowts. The reason I will do this is because not to might mean that another person (new to the Cause) might read the bollocks and think it was accurate. Can you not see that Steve? A large number of the know-nowts are also the most frequent 'posters' and have the most 'forceful' and 'confident' opinion. This is probably because they are know-nowts who live in a world where nobody ever questions them (ie in the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king). So, Steve, until the List Committee see fit to tell me to stop I will continue to post MY opinion where I believe it is important (for ME) so to do. Keep the faith, Pete P.S. I have no personal axe to grind with Steve, but I just had to answer the things he wrote in response to my mailing. Simple as that.
