No prob Cherie. I understand. It is something which I've noticed for a while now though, and I believe that my style of writing is perhaps - boring?
Or perhaps my opinions get up people's noses.

I am also increasingly aware that lengthy posts are not really worth the effort because no amount of, even the most factually corroborated and logical of arguments is going to change one solitary person's mind.

This 'ping ponging' of opinions is perhaps nowhere better illustrated than on the political/election threads, where the Left lambaste the Right and the Right lambaste the Left and neither side is ever going to be persuaded by an opposing argument no matter how eloquently put and no matter how many facts are evidenced - and I am not referring to myself here, because MTVN and Joey Steele among others, are far more knowledgeable than I am.

This conduct is merely paralleling what the political parties do in Westminster anyway, and is the reason why I am tired of the same four yearly pantomime and cannot vote for the Tories or Labour.

I despair of lies and deceit in politics and sometimes wish that old Guido Fawkes and Robert Catesby had succeeded in blowing up the corrupt nest of vixens which is Parliament.

Oh - and I agree about LT's 'Vista-Scope' pics.

Take care Cherie.
