Now that the Gordian knot of this is finally resolved, and my 2 weeks amusement whilst on sick leave are over, I retire from public speaking.
I think it was George Foreman, after his 2nd comeback, who said:
"Always retire at the peak of your victory, that way you can never be defeated...and it bugs the sh*t out of the other guy."
Goodnight, I hand the torch over to the next gladiator.
There is only one rule.
Intellectual bullying is bullying couched in a velvet glove of loquaciousness, defend yourselves, and others, at all costs.

Well, I for one, have enjoyed Ade Senseis all-too-brief sojourn on these forums. I value his experience and his observations and giggled like a small girl at some of his repartee.
I liked the way he went from sincere, thoughtful and deliberate to silly, dismissive and one-liner king (like most regular users end up) all within the space of just two weeks. Very impressive evolution there.
Anyhow, thanks for kicking off some great threads with a range of topics that I don't think anyone else had touched on.
NEXT, PLEASE!
