Morning Bill .
Just noticed you joined . Was away last weekend so missed the event. Anyhow a belated
welcome and good to hear from you.
We had an interesting OBO thread going not so long ago but that petered out.

You should recognise a few names,Bill. Some of your old friends from SN are here:
Brian Locking
James T.Floyd
Dave Wilson
Pat Hughes
John Power
ventry
Hague
MM2
oceangoer
To name just a few ....
Another old 'china hand' was Michael Hughes,but unfortunately he appears to have left on July 16th(-all his posts have been deleted)-which is very strange ,considering that was the very date you joined this site . I mean what are the odds of that happening !....
Regards

Not quite sure what you mean .
Michael Hughes and I did have some correspondance of a technical nature and by the feedback , they
were well recieved mostly by members who were glad to realise what went on "on the other side ".
I can't get round the fact that you equate the leaving date of Michael to the joining date of Bill.
I asked Brian and he very correctly did not reply - it's none of my business and quite rightly but as to your
remark , no , Bill would not do that to me .
