Crispy is a troll, but some people do enjoy his antics. When he sticks to genealogy and history - like the rest of us have to do - the list is fine for that. When he is trying to get a rise out of those who don't know him or when he and his fans want to communicate, perhaps they could do so privately while we stick to genealogy on the list??? Too much to ask I guess, huh??? I find him tiresome. I also fear he will alienate people who have a real contribution to make. Surely there is somewhere that Crispy and his fans can romp and play and leave the rest of us to our research???

He is adroit at portraying the titled Englishman of old, and knows something of the history of the "good old days" of the Empire. Patrick Traynor. tray@lanset.com
