I think the Alex thing should be done now. He's said his piece and retreated. The OP was about how this forum is an Oasis. And I think it is.
Even these lively (?) threads are dwarfed by those asking legitmate guestions and recieving good answers
I'm just impressed/jealous that a forumite has been on Everest (or have I misunderstood?).

Absolutely, if true I also encourage Minnie to share some more about this journey with the rest of us, rather than just casually mentioning it like it's no big deal :D Plenty of room around the bonfire :)

I apologise if I have misled you, and others. It was a VIRTUAL ascent.

The forum is an oasis of advice in a desert of noise.

This entire original post by Kai is a true masterpiece, well thought out and quite profound. Threads of Plato combined with Kai’s original thinking. Brilliant.

I commend newbies and oldies to reflect and think.

Bravo.
If nothing else they should think about how someone with English as a 2nd language knocks grammatical spots off most people who call it their first. Either Kai's smart AF or ..... actually there's no or, Kai's smart AF ;)

Omg what is this high praise guys ffs, my head won't be able to fit through the door anymore! If I'm so smart why do I keep posting so much dumb stuff :lol: 🤔 Now I kinda regret it started off as a bit of a rant, but am glad if someone else enjoyed it as well 👍 However, I think I shall endeavour to sound more Borat-like from now on, or perhaps more British 😜

Kai, then, from now on after each big win you should say: ""King in the Castle, King in the Castle, I have a chair! Go do dis, go do dis, King in the Castle." :mrgreen:
