You have been chucking Rocks for quite a while and in most cases Nick merely filings them back. Granted he has thrown a few himself over the years but then it takes two to Tango you know.
My advice to all parties of that Bun fight is to withdraw to neutral corners.
With the less than stellar record of the EC Line on the North Sea of late....casting dispersions on the 92 does seem a bit lame you know.
Added to the fact the 92 is out selling the 225 does not lend much credence to the claims of superiority of the 225 over the 92.
Most of us have grown weary of that line of talk and would much rather our attention be directed towards topics that are productive and beneficial to improving the level of discourse here.
SAS - I don't see any "225 vs 92" here except from you - as you say that has been done to death and will always be ultimately fruitless.
In terms of casting aspersions on individuals, I agree and am happy to desist, but it should be remembered how it started - by some folk attributing near godlike status to individuals and proclaiming that they cannot be argued with. That inevitably begs a counter point to be aired resulting in the unpleasantness you mention. It would be much better if people were left to speak for themselves, and be judged on the content, not on blind faith in everything they utter as seems to be expected by some here.
By all means support a point someone makes by agreeing with them, just don't tell others they mustn't argue because of the reputation of the originator.
