I quoted him from the alanback message of 22.May 2005, 01:21:17. Was I wrong to lift a quote from Alan's quote? Yes? Perhaps I've misunderstood how this message board works? That's enough for Darnosock to dismiss me?

He can't be bothered to skip the humour - which is a poke tongue at Alan anyway (who strikes me as having a better sense of humour and doesn't have his head stuck up his ..) - and move on to the backgammon bits? But then I gather he's not that interested in backgammon anyway.

[shrug]

His loss. No more of my words will be wasted on him.

The message below was supposed to go to Darnosock, not to the board. Lol. Still geting the hang of this here site. ;-)

[Edit: As you can see I've since appropriated that message as a repository for links relevant to Backgammon. A much better use ]
