Remember the old times when there was real passion on TarBoard?
I certainly do, and I'm glad somebody else does. They were round about 2000-2004, IIRC. It was Ok to disagree with someone then, or to pull legs. I used to have jokey ding-dongs with John N, then one day I was given a frightful dressing down by the then moderator (I was joking about Justinian's Codex IIRC) and I realised that things had changed. Tarboard is much more peaceful these days, but reminds me a bit of a quiet gentlemen's club, with everyone asleep in armchairs.
By the way, Trojans had no gears, so they could not be crashed, Mrs Blackett-style. If you disagree with this, feel free to say so and SHOUT if you like ! What the hell!
