Trevor, don't rise to the bait whatever you do. This site is getting so bad with certain people posting using other peoples names that it's really difficult to know if it is the real user/owner of the name or not. Remember I've had a couple of postings from someone using my name.

Wellwell was a nice but killjoy type on the 70s thread.
Sean, who started this thread, seems to be making some sort of similar point.

Sorry to accuse you unjustly, trevor, but it's a sad fact that we can't be sure that an impostor isn't posting under any of our names. Surely it's not beyond the wit of the webmaster to incorporate a secure log-in system?

Anyone listening?

And sorry, Bullfrog, for implying that "you" weren't you! It's just that Trevor in all his postings is totally straightforward and I don't believe he has ever, as most of us haven't, used another name or someone else's name to post an answer. There are some sad little people out there who seem to enjoy criticising and creating mischief (for want of a better word) but never seem to even attempt to answer a query, I wonder why? I really don't see what pleasure they get from doing it.

@Bullfrog...

The trouble with 'secure log-in systems' is the human element (such as people posting e-mail addresses in forum messages etc..).

Although .. I'm sure that I have done worse in my time.

I'm sure you have, JimC. Fortunately, no-one's perfect.

Sorry campanilla -- wrong end of the stick. I was wondering if someone else (who had previously posted as 'wellwell') was posting under Trevor's name, not suggesting that Trevor was the impostor.

Hi Bullfrog, my self righteous indignation was faked, the rest was all me.
