Hi and welcome to the board Mr Barker. I notice that your appearance was to respond to my criticism of your article. I don't know if you really are who you say you are but nevertheless ALL opinions are welcomed on this board, even yours!
I was sorry to read that you won't be back in fact it was very brave of you to register and respond to the adverse criticism.
However what does stick in people's craw is the "I told you so" way that you wrote your piece. Nothing's more negative than patting yourself on the back, it tends to put your arm out of joint, unfortunately it seems to have put a lot of people's noses out of joint too..
Please remember, all opinions except bashing (or pumping) are allowed and welcomed.
Regards
