Absolutely. Did I mention that I am actually a neurosurgeon, specialising in the piffle, codswallop and hogwash theorem? In my spare time, I enjoy designing and building skyscrapers, flying on the trapeze with the travelling circus...and, of course, BubHub.

Felicity, while I do appreciate the lightheartedness I think the point being made was a serious one and I'd hate for it to be glossed over with jokes (sorry for being all serious - and don't worry I think the smiley shortage is an equally important topic worthy of our attention )..

But it is a fact that people visit these forums and claim to be all sorts of things that they are not, in an effort to drum up support for their cause. I'm sure you would know better than anyone that people can be like sheep when it comes to any advice dished out by someone with Dr. in front of their name - whether in their best interest or not! Tragic, but true.. and I think the regulars on this forum should know that some of the posts they read and are influenced by, are not always what they seem.

That's all. Seriousness over.

I totally agree cosmic, I wasn't joking about the point, I was using sarcasm to illustrate the point. We're totally on the same page here.
