Might as well chuck my tuppence worth in.......
I suspect the OP doesnt realise that this issue was discussed at length recently and the thread got pretty heated,so The Boy probably wasnt too happy to see it rearing its head again. Being a newbie he probably doesnt realise that The Boy is well known to regulars for sometimes being a tad abrupt. He is a very busy man, not known for being overly patient at times (probably due to being busy) and is also known as the shouty man (among other things).
Regarding this thread - I dont think enough tolerance and patience has been shown to him,bearing in mind the fact that he is a newbie,and for someone to reply "dont believe you",when they presumably dont know him from Adam -Its tantamount to calling someone you know nothing about a liar, and says more about them than it does about him imo.
Anyone with sufficient life experience and reasonable judgment can,imo, see that we are dealing with someone unused to the ways and routines of the forum,and therefore are probably a little out of their depth at the moment.
Hardly a warm welcome for a recent member is it ?..............doesnt it say something somewhere to the effect "join in,we dont bite" ? Well, he got bit tonight.
