You hit the nail on the head "often wrong". How is anything he has to say useful then?!
Ive read posts where is arguing with people who have provided information he has asked for.

I may argue with people - but I NEVER speak to people in an obnoxois manner unless in retaliation - especially after just joining a forum!!!

Codsprawn has made nearly 11,000 postings, so one can expect SOME to be wrong, whereas you have made approx 6 postings, and already you are making a personal attack on the man. .

Should Codprawn be recognised for his considerable contribution to Ribnet. 11,000 posts, surelly a Knighthood at very least.
