Hi Halfcase,

Welcome.

If you are correct regarding the forthcoming demise of Hot Copper, then I must say you should be named Entrails (for reading them), rather than Halfcase (for guessing them).

For someone who has not posted on HC before 29th August, and who in h(is/er) first posting, posted "test" as the posting content, then either:
1)
you have watched from afar, but never posted before (ie: using someone else's nic);
2)
you have posted before, but have now sought to return under a different nic (for whatever reason); or
3)
you are astute beyond the capabilities of most of us (in which case, why bother posting at all on a "doomed site"?).

Perhaps, you have some insight which could be usefully applied for the benefit of Pat and his team (including the wider HC posting community), in which case, your contributions should be welcomed, should be constructive, and should be critical of our shortcomings.

If, however, your postings are being motivated out of some sinister reasoning, then perhaps you may wish to share your views regarding why HC's demise is imminent, appropriate, or warranted.
