   I've been a contributor to various usenet groups since around 1990, but have   
   "only" been contributing to uk.rec.audio for about 5 years. I don't know   
   whether that counts as "new".

   Well no, because I don't subscribe to r.a.t.

   That's as maybe. I was talking about the tone of his responses to the   
   discussion here, such as:

   and that was far from the most offensive. Which seems to me to indicate   
   someone who posted here just to stir up dissent and to allow himself to crow   
   as he did in the quote above. And I notice that his sig is composed of OTT   
   praise of himself, which suggests someone who is just a little bit too much   
   in love with his own cleverness.

   Likewise.
