Some of these people have been on the message boards for a very long time. I find it astonishing that people could spend so much time on a subject and never get a feel for the subject matter; never improve. It would frighten me to spend time at something and never improve but it looks like I'm in the minority. Personally, the concept that I would be fascinated with something and not improve or get to be very good at it (or stop trying after a while) is alien to me. I suppose we live in a world of "Rudy"s who spend their entire lives obsessing over clothes for that 15 minutes where they get the perfect shirt and tie combination.

That post was written in a fit of passion, I actually find that quite commendable in Chenners. He is normally known for his stale and wooden prose, extracted by being flayed by a barbed wire of an imagined deadline as he has no real interest the subject matter and nor is he being paid for his musings, despite his insistance that he runs a media empire and a professional blog.

The great arkirshner chides a poster for 'mocking' a rule and for using photographs of children (university students) to support his case:-

Remember that the comments section is curated, edited & contrived by Chensvold too. Dan Goodfella on behalf of Chensvold writes most of the posts under phony names (Single Needle, etc) to stir things up.

The whole thing's a fake.

At least Richard at WASP101 is really into what he's into. Chensvold is just the grumpy muppet of the non-existant  'Russell Street', hence his relentless ill humour.

To Richard's  (WASP101) credit !

Give me the real enthusiasts any day over all the shills and fakers.
