NICK HAS A LOT TO SAY FOR HIMSELF DOES'NT HE, EVEN IF IT'S NOT TO OFTEN . WELL EVEN IF WE HAVE HAD SOME SEVERE ARGUMENTS HERE HE IS MORE OFTEN RIGHT THAN WRONG AND OPIONS DIFFER ANYWAY.

WHAT CANNOT BE DISPUTED IS HIS TRACK RECORD, AND CERTAINLY SERIOUSLY ENVIED, AND WITH HIS EXPERIENCE ON THE MOUNTAIN OVER A VAST NUMBER OF YEARS, LIKE A LOT OF US OLD DOGS HE HAS PROBABLY FOGOTTEN MORE THAN MOST WILL EVER LEARN AND KNOW, HIS POST CERTAINLY MAKES A LOT OF COMMON SENSE.

CERTAINLY I HAVE LOST INTEREST IN THE FORUM BECAUSE OF THE RESTRICTIONS ON WHAT CAN AND CANNOT BE SAID, WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY REAL SERIOUS POSTS ON HERE SINCE THE LICENCE FIASCO INVENTED BY THE GANGSTER POL POT OF THE ACU.

I WILL PROBABLY POST MORE OPINIONS LATER BECAUSE OF THE EYESTRAIN, BUT CERTAINLY SINCE THE SICKENING TRAGEDY AT THE 26th, I THOUGHT LONG AND HARD AND DISPARED.
