>>As is often the case, you are again way off-base. There is an art to this - one that you have not quite mastered yet....< s ><<

Sounds mysterious. Excellent soundbite. Doesn't mean anything, though. Perhaps you should be a poet.

>>That said, the whole notion of life-member is BS...

If you say so, it must be true. But you are contradicting what some of your ex-peers have to say on the topic.

>>If anything, the MVP is wide-open. Look at all the new faces. This is a good thing. There needs to be fresh blood....<<

Yes. Yes. Yes. Old news. Already said and agreed.

Have you not read the whole thread before leaping in? I hope you do not prepare your cases that way when you qualify.

>>As for attacking you, welcome to the club<<

Nobody can avoid being at least a little "hurt" by being attacked, since emotion is such a large part of our psyche. Like you, I just rationalise it away and like you, I have so much outside "UT" that it is never very much of my life.
In this case, IMHO the attacks demonstrate sensitivity. Why? Why be sensitive, if I am just being silly? All people had to do is publish the facts (as I asked them to in my second post) to leave me with egg all over my face. Didn't happen. It's all there for you, I feel no need to go over it all again as a private explanation for you at this point.
