Which is what I did for you about changing the subject so that you could 
continue your postings, but you have started swearing in return - 
completely not needed.

I did no such thing, I saw your signature and have given you the 
opportunity to carry on defending yourself in a new topic so that people 
concerned with talking at the first meeting can do so. I have had to sit 
at work today watching what started as an interesting thread turn in to 
a load of rubbish. I agree you have the right to defend yourself but 
please change the subject so that those of is that wish to ignore it can 
do so easily whilst still reading the posts we are interested in.

Certainly not by me - as I said I simply changed the subject so you 
could continue your postings. I had hoped that I would not have to 
respond on this subject again but I could not let your unjustified 
sniping go unanswered.

I for one will not make any further postings on the topic and this is my 
final comment on the matter.

Thanks
