    Richard arrived at my house this evening with his very impressive tool
    to sort the link on the new chain out,[1] but first I impressed him
    with my (borrowed) very impressive tool to get the old chain off.[2]

    He's a little star, he is.

    [1] To peen the links rather than use a softlink.
    [2] A chain splitter - great fun to use.

    If ever there was a feedline, that was it. ;-)

    The magazines arrived by the way, many thanks - a good insight to the
    Fireblade range over the years.

    Yep, you are, of course, correct.

    Jobs a good-un anyway, finally mobile again without worrying about the
    chain flying off and doing damage to me and/or the bike. The chain I
    took off was *seriously* in a bad way, I don't think the previous owner
    paid much attention to it and there comes a point in time where no
    amount of lube will make a difference.

    Only if tthe poster is aware of the convention. Otherwise it is just
    plain ignorance.

    Fucking ada, when *I* point such a thing out to a poster *I* get short
    shrift off others from this parish for being so bloody daft as it
    doesn't really matter, it's all pointless, yada yada.

    If people are going to make 'rules' that posters are required to adhere
    to, at least lets all have the same damn song sheet, eh?

    I'll do a short version, shall I.

    It's considered bad form to post a posters name in the subject header
    because some posters think it means that that poster may be down and
    out.

    Someone posted a posters name in the subject header (quite a while ago
    now) and I naturally assumed the worst.

    I posted something to that effect in a reply.

    Another well-known poster from this parish berated me for doing so.

    So, is it bad form, or is it not? Or is it dependant on who it is that
    a) does the original post, and/or b) responds pointing out the error of
    their ways?

    Or do we just have moveable goal-posts around these here parts?

    Perhaps we should ask Sir Alec Ferguson, for view on the subject?

    Update to the one[1] on the Highway recently - a series of small
    wreaths attached to the pedestrian barrier thusly:

    "HAPPY 21ST GARRY"
