The message from June Hughes contains

Go away you horrid little troll.
Mary, Alan is not a troll. He is an old man who enjoys usenet and we
all humour him and give him the respect he deserves (OK, Alan, don't
start taking advantage

I think we're having an invasion of the ugly little chaps
who live under bridges....but in _whose_ garden, d'you suppose? ;-)

and some pretty ugly wimmin too.

As a matter of interest how old is Alan?

Good grief, what kind of question is that?!

It seems a reasonable one if we are supposed to tolerate him because he is
old.

How about 'tolerating' him - what a perfectly disgusting expression -

no worse than "we all humour him". Just short of "does he take sugar?"

This gets worse. You're a real sweetheart.

because he was here long before you were, is known to many of us, on group
and personally and has a problem with memory loss and the gallantry to joke
about it himself. Think about it, Martin. This could be you when - if -
you grow up.

I am old too, show a bit of respect.

When you earn it, I will. Maybe.
