John:

Just a bit of friendly but frank advice:

(1) I would think that a lot of people find your obsession over the
Herald-Sun's failure to list the arrival and departure times of "The Ghan"
at Spencer Street rather amusing, along with your hounding of certain
members of the PTUA on this newsgroup.

(2a) YOUR arbitrary and FREQUENT use of CAPITALS when they are really NOT
NEEDED is also AMUSING, and these TWO points have led MANY people to take
the MICKEY out of you!

(2b) People may also be amused because you failed to realise that your
abundant use of the upper case was making many readers of this newsgroup
urinate in their trousers due to laughter, and that you thought it might be
due to your spiritual faith or your question about R1808 or sundry other
things.

(3) That being said, I can't see any justification for Andy B's outburst -
but I guess he had his reasons.....
