No agenda from me Ron. Paul did make a point to advertise his site on here
at every opportunity, I just find it very odd that it has now closed not
long after opening, especially as there is a link to another site which
looks very similar to the previous one, ah well never mind!

I feel sorry for Paul because he must have put a lot of effort into his
website. I wonder why it has closed?

Why its closed?
Too far up his own wotsit comes to mind.
He was arrogance personified.

And we still use our own names by and large, instead of names like "storm
force" or "cloud nine", gosh we really are old fashioned on here :-)

Fascinating. I wonder what happened in November, 1996 (is Google missing
most of the posts for some reason?) and in February, 2005 (a major spam
outbreak?).

Quite addictive reading through some of the old threads. Also, it's
good to see that many of the early posters are still regulars today.

My humble opinion is that forums (fora?!) tend to foster overblown egos
with "managers", "owners" and the like that comes with hierarchy. All on a
level playing field here.
