The Uncle Mac thread is an interesting one. This post set the cat amongst the pigeons though:-

Maybe a Trad has kidnapped him and imprisoned him in their basement?
Photoshop and recycling could mean that nobody would ever notice, once they had forced him to divulge his log on details. The posting style is easy:-

'Whiskey Alden LHS
BB OTC Argylles'

'Why Thank You Nephew. I really like your AEs too!'

A few months of that. Then the posts take on a sinister tone and alarm bells start ringing.

Excellent find, Tony. "No one knows how to drape a toga properly anymore, and the art of rhetoric has fallen into sad disuse. Why, I lunched with a gent yesterday who didn't even know how to beat a slave!" Also, most of the guys doing this complaining were born in 1987.

Inanity:

More insipid twaddle about His Extremely Royal and Non-Scrotum-Looking Highness His Majesty the Most Extremely Prince Charles. Apparently Charlie woke up one morning, looked at the burgeoning chaos of Europe and said, "By Jupiter, I shall encourage the wearing of wool, and the darning of socks!" It's a charmingly old-fashioned English attitude. The iGents of course treat this as if Charles had come trotting out of Buckingham palace holding the cure for cancer.

The banal content of this post is unimportant. What registers is the assertion that people used to sew brass chains into their bell bottoms to prevent wear. The iGentry are laughing at this affectation now but you know that most of them will wake up tomorrow morning thinking about it, and before the end of the week we'll be seeing "Source for 1 1/8" brass chain?" posts.

This is just extremely iGenty. "In 1991 I had a pair of Macy's store brand trousers hemmed, and as I recall the work was done to my satisfaction; therefore, I have resolved to return to the tailors who did that work. If they do not remember and fawn over me I will report back to you gents. I hope you all found this extremely interesting."
