'Whilst' you have been accused of being 'many' things on HOL I have never actually believed you to be a troll but as 'you have' had your misuse of quotation marks 'pointed' out by several people you continue to do it so now I am 'coming' round to your accusers way of thinking

Don't get so hung up about Willo's quotation marks that you "forget" all about apostrophes!

Regards my "Misuse of quotation" marks and the umpteen lessons I have supposed to have had on HOL, at the end of the day my style of writing is clearly ingrained and to be totally honest I don't think about all the protestations and advice when I am in full flow on here. At the end of the day maybe, just maybe, content is more important than presentation but clearly the consensus seems to be that I fall down on both scores.

Funny how Trolley on the BBS had the same issue until they kicked him out for being a troll.

I find Willo one of the more entertaining people on here. I sincerely hope that most of his posts are intended to wind people up, because if they are then he has to be one of the most successful wind up merchants (I'm not going to use the word 'troll' because I think that is unfair and incorrect) I have ever seen on the internet. Good work 'Willo'.

In fact, this forum is rather like a good sitcom. Lots of clearly defined characters that largely stay true to form in every scenario. Lots of catch phrase writing styles, people you love, people you love not so much. Definitely better than Friends.

Good work 'Willo'. PTJ Thank you for your kind sentiments. If I am a "Wind up merchant", I can assure you it is due to accident rather than design. It's not in my nature to purposely be provocative in order to trigger a reaction. Outside of HOL, I do get involved with contretemps but I certainly don't seek to be an 'Agent provocateur'. My wife often has a moan at me for getting involved in unnecessary arguments but I wouldn't say that I am constantly in the eye of any storm nor a provocative stimulis in any shape or form.Just a miserable git sometimes !!!! Anyway, what the hell has this got to do with the subject matter ? Let's get back on track rather than turn this into yet another wearisome WILLO thread. Edited by Willo (08 Mar 2017 9.50am)

In a way I am disappointed. "Wind Up Merchant" is a compliment in my books. I am constantly on the wind up (although some people use a four letter acronym for it and I'm not sure what it stands for). I still think you are though, but that's not an anti-Willo comment I can assure you!
