Not really sure thats the case Paul, I've seen Jools and Chris post on the site today but there again I'm not really sure in which context you mean.

I did see a nice quote myself today however:

"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."
Aristotle (http://www.quotationspage.com/quotes/Aristotle/)
Greek critic, philosopher, physicist, & zoologist (384 BC - 322 BC)

[INDENT] "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."

As that the same as saying

you'll have to agree to disagree

Something you have to bear in mind when coming on here sometimes

Did I touch a nerve? It certainly wasn't aimed at this forum, but it looks like the cold, dead hand of my wit has finished off another promising thread.

Maybe I belong on other Ducati forums.........:(

That makes it so much easier for the big cheeses to gallop triumphantly back after arising from their sickbeds to save the whole shooting match though:lol:

One of the crucial roles of senior management is to take the credit :smug: for when things go right and find someone to blame when they don't. :flame:

You should see the posts I type and then decide I shouldn't really post them after all.....
