Assuming you mean a particular blog I can hazard a guess. Seeking attention without regard to the damage done to anything or anyone. As usual.

No he doesn't - "other place" has a specific meaning on this site (ie a certain other forum that is notably quiet much of the time)

The most recent postings were not about the appointment of the new Grand Prix controller, but whether in the Grand Prix listings there was a facility to avoid being outed as a frequent and successful tournament player.

You can do this by not becoming an ECF member, but that becomes expensive.

We could of course ask Greyknight for his thoughts as their latest member?

I hope you're not casting any aspersions on my old mate Reggie Greyknight.

Really? I missed that post. Chapter and verse?

I am trying to register over there again even though I said I would not in order to discuss some of the finer points and suggestions raised at the meeting in question, let me see if I can get on.

So they are going to close it. Would it be permissible for copies to be archived somewhere?

Given that certain people openly stated that the aim was for the "other place" to make this forum redundant, that is pretty humiliating no?

JP stepping down is bigger news in those minutes.

Paul Cooksey had some good points we will miss his feedback both there and here.

Chris Fegan can be very annoying but also has points to make.
