Oh, Christina, you're being very polite but - this person does this sort of

on his last cruise!

Ha! I was wondering why he hasn't bored us with that yet.
Perhaps his new-found insignificance means that he realises that none of
us care (well, you can live in hope!)

He has a 'thing' about newsgroups being 'led' by a select number of people.
It's been going on for years and years and it's infinitely boring. What he
really means is "nobody's paying me any attention". He's the Violet
Elizabeth Bott of urg and many unfortunate other groups, I'm afraid.


Munchausen Syndrome.
"An attention-seeking personality disorder which is more common than
statistics suggest. Munchausen Syndrome, named after a German soldier
renowned for exaggerated tales, is a predominantly female disorder in
which an emotionally immature person with narcissistic tendencies, low
self-esteem and a fragile ego has an overwhelming need to draw attention
to him/herself and to be the centre of attention."
