    Nah. If it was, I would have expected the traditional UKRM "Bikes for
    sale" post.

    Nah: a bit of bizziness at work, a large freelance wallop (Bike's being
    redesigned and the rear pages changed again, and CMCM wanted some
    stuff), other personal matters (not serious, just requiring a lot of
    time), all coincided.

    So there wasn't enough time for all that and ukrm. And the personal
    stuff got sorted quickly, editors have been given what they want, and
    all's hunky-dory. No whahala.

    TOG and that dull-faux-French idiot reappear, all on the same day.

    Sheesh. Conspiracy theory anyone?

    Killing replies to a k/filed poster rather than the whole branch. It
    would be nice if each killfilee could have individual settings. For some
    just the first reply, others three replies perhaps for some the whole
    branch.

    Hmmm, I don't need to be talking to you I need to harangue Colin Wilson.

    Tautology alert.

    Shame. It was much better without you. Like being in the office when
    that annoying pedantic bloke that everyone hates is on holiday.

    And back in the pile of junk mail to be recycled unread you go.

  10. Well, no: false premise alert.
    Yeah, whatever.

    I in fact did unsubscribe, and in fact have managed to put the time
    saved to good use in reading. Exams are in 13 days from now.

    I had a gander via google at the entirely predictable claims that I was
    lurking (I wasn't), and a few other threads. That was 'better' ? I
    don't think it was any worse (my opinions as to the value of any
    individual poster are well known), but it did seem to be the usual blend
    of back-slapping, sucking up, in-jokes, and whispering-behind-hands that
    have characterised this 'place' for as long as I can recall.

    Actually, I'd recommend a period of unsubscribing to _anyone_. You get
    to look at UKRM from 'outside', and see what a petulant crowd of
    sycophants this newsgroup is, although the 'downer' is to come back, and
    see that it hasn't changed.

    Anyway, we have different definitions of what constitutes 'better'.

    In any case, save your killfile for someone who merits it; I'm back to
    reading. Writtens are on 15, 16 and 17 of the month.

    Keep on wearing those rose-coloured glasses faux boy
    So don't come back. You weren't missed.

    My virtual killfile contains those that I consider merit it, not you.
    And boy, do you merit it. In you go now.

    He did? Well, if you didn't keep telling him how annoying you found
    him, the rest of us wouldn't even know.

    So you weren't *lurking* but managed to read all or most of
    the threads that mentioned the possibility of you lurking
    as well as noting the 'usual blend of back-slapping' but without
    replying (as you had unsubscribed)?

    You do know what lurking is, don't you?

    He did. And now he's safely back in my virtual kill file. Consider it
    a public safety announcement.

    Don't see many of those around any more. Same with the old Allegros.

    Silly sod...

    Not surprising...I looked at buying an old Marina about 1980 or
    thereabouts and they were fast dissolving even then...
