Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Like the IBM guy who said he couldn’t ever see the need for more than a few computers in the world ever or something similar ( Pedant or NWS will fill in the detail). The comments were perfectly valid when made but now can be understood in the light of new information. So I say again well done John for finding us a promising team in such awful circumstances. COYS! I've never been very compliant when being told what to do and I don't intend to make an exception here Aha - so THATS how to stop you pedantically picking on little details of everyone's posts - if we ASK you too, you won't. Perfect, thanks Pedant!
Please can you now amend and correct anything I have got wrong in this post

As you asked - rather than instructed - it would be my pleasure.
However on this occasion I'll restrict myself to pointing out, what to me was your most obvious error. Whilst, especially for those who seem to persist in posting loosely or sloppily worded comments, it may seem that I pick "on little details of everyone's posts" I can assure you (and provide the appropriate evidence) that there are plenty of people who post on this forum that I haven't replied to.

Damn! Caught again. I just cant compete with your extreme pedancy my friend! You are indeed Lord Pedant of Pedantic Hall and I bow to your excellent attention to detail.
Can you now please get cracking on dissecting NWS's political posts please in an attempt to get him to stop? (That was an ask, so looking forward to seeing how you do it!)

Most obvious? I would have though that was "if we ASK you too", although i suppose he could have meant "as well".

If you're referring to posts in the "Boring political waffle goes in here" thread I took notice of the title as an indication of its contents and have maintained a 100% record of not reading any of the posts in it.
As others have suggested on here across the years if one doesn't like the content then don't read it. I commend that approach.
