    the above poster berbastrike is now abusing me by private message. Not that I said anything offensive

    I advise no one to answer him further.

    No, not you. Sending abusive PMs sounds like an overreaction. As far as I could tell, you said nothing that warranted poor treatment.

    He's been told on numerous occasions to see an IFA but just keeps posting every month or so with similar questions. I doubt he's serious.

    He's not going to get it wrong as he has no intention of actually doing it. Try reading some of his previous posts - they're enlightening.
