iraqis have paid the blood price for a fraudulent , page-36

re: alan p./ridge Alan, for what it's worth, I really don't think B&B is snooker.

Thanks Ridgey for your kind words. You and I have been on this forum probably longer than most. When first I came here as Chuck, I posted only on stock related matters. The political stuff as you will recall was virtually non-existent. It built up over a period of time and slowly I was sucked in like a heroin addiction. There were often punch ups between posters but the posters soon got sick of it and either went their way or were blown away by the market.

The advent of snooker in my view heralded a significant change in the atmosphere of HC. Here was someone who had no interest in stocks, made no contribution and used HC simply as a political forum. Here was someone keen to push a political line in a confrontational way. He attracted others eager to do the same and gradually the rot has set in.

In my view this is not a good thing for HC or my blood pressure.

I know I should just cancel out the general forum but lack the willpower so to do so I guess I'll just take another little holiday from HC.

By the way, I take the suggestion that I could be greenpastures as an insult of the highest order but I'd expect that from one such as domain.

Cheers all.
