I have no problem with an occasional OT providing it is clearly marked
OT in the title and it is something likely to be of interest to the
majority of readers.
I DO have a problem when it is the product of a sick mind just trying
to attract attention to itself or to cause controversy for its own
sake.

I thought 'Mike' despised net nannies. He seems to want to be one
without seeming to be one!! ;-)

You can't expect him to be consistent. He will say anything just to
see his name in print and to provoke a response - any response will
do.
It really is best just to ignore him.

Yes, Dear old Uncle Albert is desperate for someone to talk to him.

Probably saving up right now to pay for his family to go on a cruise
with him (they can't escape from him on a ship!)
