    How can you be on here so much and yet not post? There are so many interesting and contentious subjects (including this one) that I can hardly imagine how you don't get involved in them. Then there are the other parts of MSE where people actually help each other. Have you never felt the need to discuss any financial products or get any financial assistance?

    I have often wondered how people maintain low post counts and yet log onto MSE everyday. I'd be very interested if you could enlighten me.


    I have a lower post count than he does, and have been registered longer, does that somehow mean i am inferior to those with post counts in the thousands? rather elitist isnt it?
    Thankyou Sir Alex for 26 years

    Huh? What are you on about man? Do I need to defend my posting history to you?

    I've been a member for 6 months and started posting three months ago when i arrived back in the UK. I found the site when I was deciding to take a job back here or not.

    Since i have started posting, I average probably ten posts a day, maybe more. I also post in the pensions area, because - frankly - my only reason for coming to the forum originally was to search for information on the UK pensions system, having been away for so long.

    Frankly, high octane debates about the best Sky package, or cheap broadband deals leaves me cold.

    But, of course, it is possible to just log on and read, isnt it? Because I have a job to do in the daytime too.

    You need to get out more. You see conspiracy all around you.

    oooh *DD holds handbag close to chest* bit defensive aren't we bendix! What are you trying to hide? The more you deny, the more we all think you're guilty of something!!

    I've just looked at your posting history and you seem to be very intersted in Dervish's threads. I think you're a dervish sockpuppet!!!

    Hey DD you are my favourite poster, I enjoy your long eloquent posts, I just wondered why you wish to prolong these racist threads when you don't agree with racism being discussed?

    we're not discussing racism, we're discussing why you keep creating posts that insinuate that I have multiple IDs. You have tried to sidestep the question, but I have manfully brought you back onto my topic. As I was saying... why do you do that? As I said, I understand why dervish and !!!!!!? and others would, but I can't recall us ever having a crossed word - though perhaps you know different?

    What else is going on in this odious thread is neither here nor there, and in fact, taking it off topic wouldn't be such a bad thing really.

    I think some posters reflect your style, and to me anyway appear to be cleverly taking the !!!! out of some of the more odious posters, not meant to be a slight.

    oh dear. Sorry, I gave your intelligence more credit. Anyway, perhaps the next time you start making unfounded accusations, you'll remember how easy it is for other people to do the same to you...

    As far as your other posts are concerned, I actually did check them out and I admire your stance on many of dervish's iodious threads.

    I think the likes of dervish, topov and ultra are invaluable members. They are of course, odious bigots but bizarrely they are also perhaps the three least articulate and intelligent people on the forum, refusing to deal with issues and reverting instead to barking their nonsense as if it's the reasoned truth.

    In doing so, they show more sober members how ignorant and stupid the rabid racist right is and further demonises it.

    In that regard, they are their own worst enemies, but too dull to know it.
