    You're doing a PHD ???

    Now I DEEFINITELY know it stands for Piled Higher and Deeper.

    You're going to become a has-been drip under pressure...

    Whodathunkit...

    What a joke...

    So what have we got?

    [1] Clem makes yet another totally unfounded claim about "the end of
    Ozmoto is nigh, and it's all George's and Gerry's fault." The
    general goss is that he's lost the plot. Again.

    [2] Clem tries yet again to ramp up his "Vote [1] Clem - Killfile
    George and Gerry!" campaign. Next he'll be borrowing the Rudd Ute.
    Treasury bureaucrats are leaving town in great haste.

    [3] Clem finally gets a clue and twigs that he's the best thing
    George and Gerry have going for them and clandestinely approaches them
    to try to wangle some kind of 'cash for comment' deal. George and
    Gerry tell him to **** off and get a life. Clem says "Any pointers,
    George?"

    Are we having fun yet?

    It bothers me somewhat, I'm not seeing that it bothers you at all to be
    honest.

    You don't think it weakens your argument to advocate one thing whilst
    doing the opposite yourself then?

    Because I sort of suspect it does...

    And the grammar police to stop you from using "off of" in polite
    conversation.

    <Blink> I need to do what and what? If that was an example of academic
    humour, it went completely over my head - or perhaps you need to read
    what I actually posted.

    For the record: if there's any trolling going in this thread, it's Clem,
    not Gerry; I couldn't care one way or the other about the George and
    Gerry show and I haven't commented on it except to reference the posting
    statistics (I only get to see half of it anyway); and if I choose to take
    a shot at Gerry for what I perceive to be hypocrisy then my post is what
    it is - both you and Gerry have (erroneously) assumed that if I'm
    criticising Gerry I must be taking sides.

    I see from Gerry's irritated response that I need to get a clue. I'll be
    off to the hardware store then.

    It' goes way beyond trolling. I'd call it more a case of Clem trying
    to exert control over the newsgroup via his overt (and covert?)
    campaign to have George and I (and anyone else he doesn't like)
    killfiled by as many people as possible. This is not an isolated
    incident. There is a timeline constituting an active campaign.
    I just thought you got a couple fo things wrong:

    [1] You said: "Clem posted complaining that the NG was turning into
    the George and Gerry show (and the stats I posted tend to support his
    point). "

    Well I fail to see how the stats you posted show anything of the kind.
    Beware of focusing on blips within stats, old boy. "There are lies,
    damn lies, and stattistics."

    [2] You continued: "You retaliated, defending your right to post
    whatever and whenever you want."

    I don't have this right? And this has what exactly to do with what
    is (allegedly) happening to the newsgroup and how I'm somehow
    responsible for that?

    I've currently got a very heavy dose of the (swine?) flu, so I'm a bit
    slower than usual (if such a thing is possible), so, please forgive
    any cognitive shortcomings.

    The thing about Infarct Kneetrembler? That goes way back into OzMoto
    ancient history. He doesn't like me because I publicly humiliated him
    for publicly humilating his son. He stopped loving me. What can I
    say... It happens...

    The stats I posted show that in July 2009 Frosty has posted 70 times (so
    far) and Diogenes has posted 56 times (so far), and those two characters
    are Nos 1 and 2 on the list of top posters. What's hard to understand
    about that?
    You do have that right. I wasn't suggesting you didn't. I was describing
    the history of events.

    What part of "statistical blip" do you not understand.
    Ahhh... You were doing a Windschuttle?

    I could make the observation that you still haven't answered my original
    question but I suspect you'd ignore that also...

    Lots of them moved onto Netrider, some of them stayed but a lot have
    moved even further onward from Netrider as well.

    General motorcycle forums seem to be bleeding members to more targeted
    interest forums as well, so what's happened to aus.motorcycles may yet
    happen to the early web fora as well...

    So you think there's an inconsistency. I got that. I have long ago
    given up trying to have a debate with you du to your predeliction
    towards obfuscation, red herrings and straw men.

    If it'll help you get though your existential crisis, we're all going
    be guilty of inconsistency from time to time.

  18. If you don't like the amount of posts I have done nor thte amount of posts
    of Gerry's. then start posting something for yourself Andrew

    No-one else has been

    I recall, not so long ago, there were a few comments posted referring to the
    lack of postings

    "Where is everyone "

    or words to that effect

    You can't have it both way Andrew
