And here we go again!! It’s silly Season folks! What is it with this place? It’s like you deliberately go out of your way to avoid any sensible discussion preferring instead to pick idiotic fights over nothing at all.

You have yet to even create something worthwhile on Wiki, but already Dave is throwing a hissy fit about who owns what!
It’s the spirit of the net, especially the likes of Wiki, that information and ideas be freely shared and expanded. Chris is so obviously trying to build something worthwhile, and all DAVE can do is get PISSY about some imagined "presumption" that is so insignificant it does nothing but prove what a petty minded egoist he is.
Chris is one of the few people actually showing some dynamic initiative in this place. And what does he get for his trouble? The moderator won’t let his posts through to the forum and he gets crap-zapped by yet another self-righteous old FART trying to suppress him. Honestly this has got to be the most STATIC environment on the entire internet.
