Carp, you're not the first person to try to get it to stop.
When Andy tried, I responded positively to his appeal.
It was Heather who was determined to continue
the "internecine strife" after that.

The -AT--list survived having the late (d.v.)
Ted Kapley on it. It can survive this.

Sorry Carp, but I just don't like car racing.
It's noisy and smelly and polluting and I just
don't see the point. If I ever get on a transatlantic
plane again, it certainly won't be to go anywhere
near any car racing.

Oh I think I had quite a lot of gasps left.
But unlike Heather I wasn't indulging
in meaningless personal abuse, merely
trying to establish the truth of things.

I didn't scroll through the Scots Debate archives
in order to dig out dirt. I had given one version
of that "mistaken identity" episode, and Heather
had given a different version. I scrolled through
the Scots Debate archives in order to establish
who was telling the truth. The truth was that Heather
had mistaken Dave MacLean for me. And like I said
