Paul, I have only just seen your response, so apologies for my tardy reply.

First of all, a big thank-you for taking the time to provide such a comprehensive and graceful response. I admit I did not expect it, which only makes it more the more pleasing to read your thoughts.

Whilst I accept a lot of what you say regarding admins of forums, and I do agree that many of the forums are over-administered (try Excel Forum where the admins are really picky little jobs-worth, some of them practicing the same pettiness on Excel Guru, which is a shame) and I personally do not believe in admonishing posters for infringing petty rules, but I have found the admins here to be the least intrusive of all forums (I admit that the posts you refer to do not ring any bells with me).

On a lighter note, I think you might find some of those videos of Ronaldinho are doctored. I know that the one where he hits the crossbar 10 times in a row (I think that is the one I recall) is definitely a fake. He is great, was great, no doubt about it, but some of them are just too much to believe. And he is a silly boy as Monty Python would say, in what he has done in Paraguay.

Anyway mate, sorry you feel as you do, but all the best wherever you land.
