Tailplane,
In suggesting that I had somehow banished all the "good guys" from this forum, ANOrak had to have been referring to a thread started by me in February as a follow-up on some emails to me (in my capacity as moderator) which suggested that the military posts were getting unintelligible to all but the cognoscienti. It provoked some lively discussion and hot reactions on both sides, but mostly the consensus came down on the side of the AAC'ers and I happily acknowledged this. The rest of my message to ANOrak speaks for itself if you read it in this context.
Yes, in the circumstances the occupation of "plane spotter" listed in his profile on this forum was just too good a chance to pass up, especially if it was tongue-in-cheek on his part. Given his complaint about how boring this forum has become, I thought he might appreciate it if I kept things lively by taking up his challenge and throwing a few barbs back at him. In truth, I am sadly disappointed in him for his failure too shoot another volley back at me, if only for the entertainment value this could provide on an otherwise "boring" forum.
Cheers from your
Hollier Than Thou Iterferon
