I cannot speak for anyone other than myself giving you negative responses, so from my point of view ... I certainly cannot be described as an Anglophile; I am English 100%. I do, however have some significant, IMHO connections with the US - it annoys me no end that people like you, who as members of this forum I assume to be rational, cannot spend the time to gather the facts before entering a debate. If that is what you normally do, then I am not surprised that you often receive negative responses from those you consider to be anglophile.
I am certainly not a moderator of this forum. I am merely requesting that you and everyone else exercises a certain amount of decorum, and puts a certain amount of research into their responses. I do, however find it bizarre that you choose a post from an unknown to make it known that you no longer have the time or the money for this forum.
I do not cintribute personally to the upkeep of this site, but my household does, and we find it possible to work full days, make the time to do our background reading, and not to rant when uneccessary.
I hear no one ranting but you.
With all due respect, MY ORIGINAL QUESTION was NOT answered by Post # 26 as you chided me. My original question was - whose personal pocket did the funds to pay for the billboard come out of? or is it a state run campaign? Why I asked the question is not your concern.
And, I will jump into any discussion I please since you say you are not the boss. IF THE BOSS, which you say you are not, issues orders with which I am unable to comply, I would have no choice but to cease and desist from the forum. - In future, be very careful about getting caught with your own drawers down in regard to your haughty assertions.
Oh, and please don't feel compelled to answer my question. I am sure there are others on the forum capable of being courteous and indulging the silly questions of poor little Twinkie.
