I do apologise, Mr W.
I see that the "F*cked Parrot" post has been removed in toto. I apologise for attributing it to you - truth is I can't remember who said it, and your graceful apology for your 'earlier vitriol' led me to assume - without checking.
Sincere apologies.
I couldn't actually see any vitriol in anything you'd posted (if you think that your post at the bottom of page 1 was vitriolic, you need to eat more red meat) and I assumed that you'd removed the post (though I now see that it wasn't yours to remove!), though comparing me to WEBF "banging on about SHar" in your 'apology' was, if anything, worse than the parrot remark!
