No, you're right, I don't deserve any respect at all. I've not achieved a fraction of anything Donncha has - or anyone else on this site.

Equally, neither was I attempting to start a row - that was not my intention.

I just feel that rather than draw attention *any* area of his blog, his writing, or his subject matter that you didn't like, it would have been more measured and appropriate to have simply looked at what Donncha has achieved for us, the community, and praise that.

I don't think Donncha needs me to defend him here, so I'll stop and let his work do the talking. But it was nice of you to acknowledge that he did "a good job most of the time"

I hope a delay of three days is ok for you.
