@Setanta,
You just can't leave it alone, can you Pooch?
No matter what I post, you have to respond. This is a sickness born of an incredible sense of inferiority.
Sad case? Yes you are. You sit in your 12 X 10 kitchen pounding away at your keyboard, telling the world that you matter, that you are a historian (all the while denying same) and that everyone else who dares to express an opinion is a despicable idiot.
I'm betting that you are grossly over-weight and rarely if ever leave your abode.
Your little dogs invest in you a spirit of animation that you are unable to emulate and you love them for it.
Your obvious intelligence is your curse because you have to know how pathetic you are; all the while that you attempt to establish stardom in this forum.
Sad case? There is no more sad case in this forum than you, and, alas, I am no where near enough an enlightened individual to give you a free pass.
In this thread I have responded to your posts as you would to mine. I know you realize this but you just can't try to one up.
Now think hard for what you might believe is a clever retort, but you know I have pegged you completely.
