That was hardly a novel he wrote... Unreadable, maybe. Uninformed and wrong, yes. But not precisely a novel.

I actually just read his post in the Bach thread. Shorter than usual...I stand corrected in this instance

Yes, it is shorter than usual. However, what I meant mostly, is that the structure of his words are not really novel-like and if he released those words in novel form, they just wouldn't sell.

Moshkito = troll, in my humble opinion. I've reported him on several occasions, for offending people and making remarks based on ethnic stereotypes. Not that it will have any effect whatsoever, but at least I've tried.

I was on the verge of responding that, if he doesn't like the way we are on this board, he's free to leave, since it seems we are so beneath him. However, I'm sure that would get me flamed, and the Admins would probably say it's my fault for attacking the poor innocent guy. So, I'll leave the pleasure to someone else.

It is you...as well as...oh, poor Syd...many of this board...that read nothing, when in fact something. Think of the children. For all Bach's children, there's a price to be paid. In pounds. And nice. You can't see me...but I can you.

Well, you see, it's not only Micky who uses ellipsis  ... The thing is, this guy thinks he's a very gifted writer, and that is granting us a boon with his presence.

Well Micky has a little thing called clarity and this other guy abuses the ellipsis to the 10th degree

Erhm....I'm not sure about the abusing part. He did manage to infuriate Peter Rideout, after all.

I'm glad that I am not the only one who finds it somewhat difficult to follow his word flows. It is also nice to have someone write lengthier posts than I, which I suspect might even get ignored as much as my posts sometimes seem to get ignored.

Indeed!  We're leaving tomorrow morning... It's about 4 hours (maybe more, maybe less) from where we leave, and we want to avoid the traffic.

Peter was annoyed (euphemism) at me, I think, and this is why he attacked Micky... I am sorry he left, in a way, but certainly don't miss the times he turned against me. Hope all is well with him, though... I am not that bad of a person, you know.

Well her fell out with me big time too and he was in the wrong for calling me what he did.
