Well that explains why he thinks we're interested in someone waving in the background of a report.

Yawn.

There are a large number of people who post on TVForum with a much larger list of credits, but that doesn't affect the amount of respect I grant them. The ones I respect on there are the ones who actually provide interesting discussion and insight, not those who spend hours sitting watching News 24 in case somebody waves in the background, a miss-titled aston appears briefly or a projection cube becomes uncalibrated.

I'm aware of his posting there and have always considered him a moron.

In his glittering 12 post history I see he's called dosxuk a "miserable get [sic]", called everyone else on the board "sarcy losers" - and now announces that some piece of television is giving him a "hard on".

I suppose that shows the base line average of DS posters if this one is well respected.

Even so, he has a pretty respectful website (of the same name) which has been running since 2001 and has been featured on BBC Click's Webscape.

It looks crap.

And in any case, Webscape is hardly a suitable benchmark.

I think you meant "respectable", as "respectful" is the last thing I would call him - if he's behaving like that after only a dozen posts.

You can only really judge a person on their contribution on the page when they choose to join a long-running community. To arrive and start insulting people because they don't "get you" is a bit rich.

and it's back.... and slower than ever apparently.

Who are they hosted by at the moment? I know someone called Hymagumba who could do them a great deal on Dreamhost.

I appreciate I'm not the nicest person in the world at times but does anyone else find it bloody rude when you're trying to discuss something in one of the general threads and a rota pleb replies as if there isn't another discussion occuring with:

"Well what about so and so, they should axe this and go by my rota, let their real lives be damned"

I mean they could at the very least quote the original post or say "on a slightly different tangent" or something. They really piss me off, they have no manners whatsoever the little shits.

I often use get and git interchangeably when describing..er...gits and gets... it must be a regional thing.

I've noticed that we still call 'The Gallery' 'Mock Designs' in the navigation. Is this intentional?

Sorry about the potentially poor grammar in that first sentence.
