You must be joking, meursault! One look at the kind of self-assumed "superiority" pretended there (and not just the last 2 weeks) is enough to remind me why I left Britain many decades ago (one of the reasons at least, then not entirely clear to me). I don't think those people ever ask themselves whether they have the RIGHT to turn a public and free discussion into an exclusive little club. There is no point in trying to beat (let alone persuade & convert) them, they are not open to anything as democratic as that. I could feel sorry for them, that they NEED to express themselves with such obvious disdain (not all, of course), but I prefer to ignore them completely. The question was rightly asked, what point except self-congratulation & smugness such a thread in that tone can possibly have.Welcome to OUR "club" here, which genuinely helps, if required with hints rather than direct answers. No need to explain what's always gone on over there: most contributors here are well aware of it, and have been for years. Anything more left to say on that subject, anybody???
