re: the upper end/ I really don't care if you use the ignore button or not; I would be if certain other posters did that. However, I do post for outside readers as well and these are of utmost importance to me.

Bellringer has been well looked after: he can post on the general and humour threads and I am sure people who want to read his posts know where to find him.

Would I encourage the new owners to have Bellringer removed? No need to; they would only have to read these and other posts to see what is happening.

That is what I as an owner would do and I would run HC for the benefit of all posters rather than for just one.

I am sure that Steve knows what it is all about. His argument cannot be with the new owners; they are not responsible for whatever has happened and I support their moves to bring this HC site up to a good standard, a place where people will be keen to post.

And I am not afraid to take some flak for saying so,
