No sweat, Tulloch-Marshall and ilk have every right to express their opinion of me. Its a pity that the quality of their remarks are so banal . They don 't deny what I say is true they just don 't like hearing it. Prove me wrong, you lot, if you want to actually contribute something to the list instead of adopting an attitude that the list belongs to the likes of you. My I suggest, that if the truth is all too much for you lot to endure then YOU could all resign from the list. Apart from Tom, in most cases your , pathetic, scant and seldom useful contributions would not be missed. If you want some idea of what my Holland family contributed to WW1 have a look at this web site http://home.it.net.au/~lambeth/holland.html and then let me look at yours. Tom, you say, " I did not make the statement selectively quoted above ................... what I said was " Well, mate, I just copied and pasted your statement from your email just as I 've done the same with this one. I did n't make it up. Your Colonel Blimp style of writing is quite distinctive. I would n't want to imitate it. Have a nice day. Patrick Holland. ( Ex RAF) Perth, Western Australia.

I had originally concluded that it had a) - been posted by somebody whose knowledge of things military was so woefully lacking that they really had no concern to be posting on GW-L (discuss), or b) - it was a thinly veiled insult directed at British Services Personnel past / present / future - alive or deceased. I had settled on ignorance rather than insult and therefore answered in what I believed to be an appropriate manner. " > > I make NO APOLOGY for briefly straying away from the purpose of GW-L, because Holland does this every time he throws one of his malodorous class-warrior rants into the ring. He seems never to have anything constructive to say - almost never anything which is anything at all to do with the purpose of GW-L , and in fact the only "positive" thing that I can think to say about him is that he's well balanced - he has a chip on both shoulders. > > I don't think he serves any purpose on GW-L, and personally I'd prefer it if he just crawled back into his slimy pit, never to appear again. > > That's just my opinion of course.
