Ta, slagging Mark is always a bonus in any post. ;)

No it doesn't bother me that much either, most times, it can also be very
interesting and, surprisingly, turn out to be pretty relevant in the end.
Sadly I just don't have time to read every single post these days and only
pick up on some that appear to be of interest or that I may be able to help
with. Of course, being a moderator, I also try to monitor the ones that
look
decidedly dodgy just so I can abuse the power. ;)

But in all the time that I've been moderating the list I can almost count
on
one hand how many times we've actually had to take action or stop a thread.
That lessens when I consider the occasions where it's gotten beyond the
point of a nice, "please drop it guys". I think that stands as a
testament
in its own right without requiring further explanation.

I missed Paul Gordon's post obviously. ;)
