    It quite frankly is boring, I have been accused a few times and the trick is to just ignore them, but my question is.

    Why does it bother you all so much who a poster is?

    Have you not got paid work to do?
    Have you not got other important questions burning to be asked?

    Right I am off back to my normal location for a few hours as you all go red in face and start accusing me of planning to overthrow CUK.

    A few clues....

    Why do many hate sockies? Mainly because they ask stupid repetitive questions or post intentionally contentious statements/views in a vain attempt at attention seeking. When genuine posters waste their time replying to said stupid, repetitive questions, they get rightly annoyed when OP turns out to be a sockie/troll or both.

    How do we know they are sockies? There are about 12 indications. Usually, 3 or more are present in every sockie post so most are easily spotted. No I am not going to post them here because most of the sockie masters are too stupid/do not even care if they are caught out and banned, they have a drawer full of them. It's a bit like the virus/anti-virus cycle.

    No I don't have any paid work to do.

    If I have got any more important questions to ask, I will be sure to open your drawer and shout them in for your approval.

    Please shut the drawer on your way back in.

    Wiedersehen
    And the prize for "yes I missed the point again" award goes to the above.

    But thanks for explaining your logic, I now know whose posts not to view so as not to waste my time.

    Have a good day my friend

    Probably best to put this one in the wash. It's getting a bit crusty now.
