You could put me on ignore and take me out of your universe altogether.
I doubt at 70 years old and using a walking frame and barely capable of looking after myself I could offer any employer much opportunity to profit from my feeble contribution to their business.
But think of it this way I am sure you must have gained some small satisfaction having a dig so maybe I can be that person you just love to hate.
Great man, a back hander indeed, don't you recognise humility when it is before you.
Hope you feel better and look forward to your future contributions.Thanks for playing I do enjoy it.

Alex, thank you for your concern regarding my health.....I actually feel very well. I don't believe in ignore buttons. After all, we are here to engage with each other, not hide away by using ignore options.
As I am a fairly new member, I wasn't aware of your long history on this forum, so I apologise if I sounded too censorious, but it just struck me that the issue of military conscription wasn't on anyone's agenda and there hasn't been any mention of it anywhere....as far as I know. So, alas, I thought you were kite-flying and I probably went in a bit too hard. I have seen other forums, of which I have been a member, torn to pieces with flame wars, started by members who did not have the best interests of those particular forums, uppermost in their minds.
BTW, hope your health improves. I too am 70 (last week) and fortunately, I have no health issues of any concern. I gave up running a few years ago and I now find that I enjoy walking much more than running.....gives one a chance to think and enjoy a bit of solitude for a time. Cheers.
