I know it is pointless to ask this, but Hugh is a famous idiot and most people know enough to not reply to him. I see Alex is vainly still trying to communicate with him even though by now he must understand that it will have no impact on Hugh. Hugh has some mental illness that makes him rather paranoid and possibly delusional. He sees Elizabeth Rather as his arch enemy and imagines the entire Forth community as her puppets. I am really not exaggerating at all. I think this is very clear from his recent posts as from many others. I don't know why Alex continues to discuss Hugh's posts. At the end of his most recent post he explains why Hugh isn't involved in the standard body anymore, "You were banned for being a disruptive asswipe with a serious personality disorder." Why give his writings the respect of a reply here? When you wrestle with a pig, you both get muddy. But the pig enjoys it. -- Rick
