Has anyone who actually boats gone there recently? "The Beatles Caused the Disintegration of Mankind"?, "Forex Trading"? "Sporge Flood"? (WTF?!). I have some very fond memories of the place, and some not so fond (Clip clip, in 45 seconds a child of nine can make any ACA instructor into a fool...). It's sad to see the passing of what was once such a resource, and at the same time such a pain in the ass, and I really hold it against the jerk referred to above for essentially single-handedly killing the group. May Timmy rot for that.

feedback You mixed up RBP with RBPWW in your link, and yep, I do still visit RBP. Wilko New
note Yeah, I wondered after I'd posted if I'd done that. I have them both bookmarked. <NT> Gordo New
feedback My newsserver doesn't carry most of that spam, so there's just not a lot going on in those groups. Wilko New
