Isn't it the nature of the beast that when you post on an open internet forum you should expect your fair share of detractors, whether you are successful or not ?

If you are highly successful you will attract the jealous detractors - just ask Mr Charts.

If you are unsuccessful you will attract the hecklers and people who just want to have a little bit of a laugh.

Basically you cannot win and you should know that before you even contemplate posting.

Having said that I hope that Ken can develop a slightly thicker skin and come back so he can continue his harmless and entertaining pursuit.

BTW Hornblower, what does "lossed" mean ?
