Off topic.

Ok, folks, it's the new game show - "Spot the Irony!"...

Anyone picked it yet?

While waiting, Douglas/Cryptopix/Sarina/Julian/Susana, any sign of
that completed panorama yet?

No? Thought not.
Any sign of an apology for the LIES you told about Atheist Chaplain?
No? Thought not.

Any reason why you still refuse to identify me from that 'security
tape' you LIED about? You, Douglas, said this about me:

Oh, really? (O:
Here's where Douglas made these claims, (and sadly for him) they
weren't from behind an anonymiser:
http://groups.google.com.au/group/rec.photo.equipment.35mm/browse_frm/...ead/309
....and of course the whole thing is a stinking LIE. Hand that link to
your legal team, Douglas, ok? Show them the imaginary 'tape', and
also tell them how you 'identified' me - did I have a name badge,
perhaps I yelled my name out as I took whatever it was you claim I
took?

Oh, and your solicitor will be *particularly* impressed with the
threats of violence you made in that same post.

All Douglas had to do to prove he was not a liar was DESCRIBE me.
There is something very noticable about me. So why couldn't/can't he
do that? Why does he always run away from this question?

Simply because the whole thing is a LIE. He has no such 'security
tape' and he made this claim up, just like he lies elsewhere.


Enjoy, Douglas.

Well, I can't say I've done it myself, but I've eaten at a restaurant that
had a number of macro insect shots in the waiting area.

I could never fiqure it out. It didn't bother me, but it kind of seemed
like the place was skirting the outer fringes of good taste exposing hungry
folks to some rather unappitizing images while they wait for tables.

Take Care,
Dudley
