I don't know which of the 5 categories this posting comes into, but I have a right to question John N's motive in his 'fantasy' posting, because he mentioned me in it. Was it a genuine attempt to further knowledge of AR, or was it a daily entry in a personal BLOG, using Tarboard as the carrier, in which he praises his friends and needles his enemies? I realise I won't be popular saying this - Tarboarders have an instinct to rally round cosily. And JN took care to be nice to Prue in his posting (no dunking in Coniston for her, or else a thousand hands would leap to a thousand keyboards . ..)
Jock - please don't imagine I am so dim that I don't know what's going on. And thank you for laying down the rules for posting, but I'd prefer Ian's, thanks.
Finally, people may not like what I am saying, but the subtitle 'An Arthur Ransome Discussion Forum' was not made up my me - it was put there by Ian, at the top of the page.
(If anyone detects a note of bitterness in this posting, you are DARNED RIGHT.)
