If you've not noticed, I've been accused by Sacha and seani of being a
racist. And as I've explained at length why I think such accusations
are very serious I must say it's highly perceptive of you to notice
that I'm extremely pissed off about such accusations. Indeed, you're so
switched on you decide to throw yet more accusations at me, this time
about comments about Nicolas Croiset and that German bloke from
Blaupunkt.

***, Google Groups is playing up at the moment; you click Post
message, and nothing happens, so I clicked it again which results in
double posting. Why would I post the same message twice, eh, moron?

I said some words when I was very angry due to having to put up with
grossly disingenuous bull*** from Croiset and that bloke from
Blaupunkt.

I don't need to explain them away. Only a fool would try and suggest
that I'm xenophobic because I'd mentioned a piece of clothing or
food-stuff.

I think you'll find that the posts in question were during an intense
argument with Croiset and the person from Blaupunkt, where Croiset and
his sidekick were trying to suggest that DAB was a brilliant system and
that the MP2 audio codec was near perfect and new encoders provided
amazing sound quality at 128kbps.

You tell me, you're the expert.

So, you're accusing me of not being able to empathise with people while
you're trying to accuse me of being xenophobic straight after I've been
accused of being a racist by other people? I see.

But you think I'm xenophobic instead, then?

For a long period of time I would suggest that probably 90 to 95% of
your posts were replying to me, which is blatantly obsessive behaviour.
And don't roll out your usual "oh, but Steve sends so many posts"
bollocks, because it's bollocks.

Only a moron would suggest that I would want to send the same post
twice. People of normal or higher IQ would think of another more
sensible explanation for why 2 posts containing identical information
were posted. (note to self: if Google Groups is playing up this morning
don't whatever you do click the button twice, because if you do and the
post is sent twice, *** & Dom in da bungalow seem to think I'm
desperate to communicate with this pair of fools in my killfile)
