^ Yes indeed, for a 2004 review that is quite normal. I would expect better from a Prog reviewer in later years. I think it should stay, especially as it has some "historical value".

^ I had the same problem at one time. Disabling the WYSIWYG post editor in the Forum Preferences section of the Member Control Panel solved it then. Not only did one have the same kind of humour, but I recall, I also got rid of one from someone who also used Big Chungus as his "real" name (course it's not the real name and is another "member" reference, rather like Biggus Dickus, who is a great friend in Rome) and West Africa as his location.

^^ I know Matt, this type of thing is as old as the hills on this site. Will does tend to get over-excited about anything he releases; his own website is full of superlatives. It reminds me of good old Malcolm Parker from Cyclops 20 odd years ago; you'd never ask him whether one of his own releases was any good; to him it was always 5 stars, the best thing they've ever done/ he'd ever have the pleasure of releasing on his label... until the next release 2-3 months later, bless him! 

Yeah fair - thought that might be the case!

^ Yes I saw that and had to do a double take.
