I’m guessing - Welcome back, Dave; it’s been a while since I used to read your strangely-formatted posts on this forum.

Thanks for the greeting Tommy.  Firstly, I was away on a long, pensioners summer holiday and 

decided to ignore the site - until all the fan aggression disappeared after that awful relegation.

As a fan for over 60 years, I have experienced relegations before but I never reacted in the manner

that some apparently did by posting incessant abuse day after day. 

Later on I had major problems with my e-mail account, and got lost and was forced to begin again

with a new ID, leaving my previous 11, 000+ posts disappearing into the dusts of time.

I read this like I would a poem 😭

Oh....was that a compliment, or a criticism?  I do write in a lot in differing styles, (and even had some poetry

published - back in the day).  Nowadays my hobby is writing film scripts that may never see the light of day, 

and responding to postings on football sites that are written in understandable English.

A backhanded compliment, I got halfway through and realised it wasn’t a poem 😂
 

don’t stop - it’s unique

I've listened to enough radio 4, to be able to read Dave's posts as poetry. Finishing with things like "dusts of time" adds real gravitas to them.  More please!
